Denver Broncos quarterback Tim Tebow achieved much on the gridiron. He’s a Heisman Trophy winner from his days at the University of Florida. His college teams won BCS National Championships in 2007 and 2009, when he was known both as a dual-threat QB and for the Bible verses on the black anti-glare patches under his eyes. But Tebow’s is a life that nearly didn’t happen. As explained in a controversial Super Bowl ad that Focus on the Family funded, Tim’s mom, Pam, ignored doctors’ suggestions that she abort her pregnancy because of an infection. Her choice gave Tim a shot at life, which he’s used continually to champion faith-inspired efforts such as his Tim Tebow Foundation that supports orphanages and youth programs worldwide.
