Bama's Richardson escorts cancer survivor to her Prom

Can we have a moment to applaud Trent Richardson for doing something incredible off the field? Richardson attended the Hueytown High School prom this weekend with senior Courtney Alvis. She was diagnosed with leukemia last year, but her goal was to make it to her senior prom. With no date, Richardson stepped in to escort her. She is still taking medication, but according to the tearjerker ESPN piece, as of today, there is no cancer in her bone marrow. Going to prom with a two-time national champion is pretty neat too. Richardson’s mother is also a cancer survivor.
