Sibling’s battle has led to his own motivation

When Bradley McDougald’s brother, Brandon, was in the fifth grade, he was diagnosed with osteosarcoma, cancer that grows and spreads in the cells that form bones. The elder McDougald brother had his leg amputated as a result, per The Seattle Times.

“His situation definitely changed my outlook at an early age,” Bradley told The Seattle Times. “Take nothing for granted. Just go out there and enjoy it. Don’t get lost in the days. Make all the days count.”

Bradley’s perception of life changed for the better at such an impressionable age. Since then, he strived to be successful not only for himself, but for Brandon, too.
