Jeff Hobbs: Heart of a Champion
Program:
Living In Iowa Special Collection
Broadcast Date: Jul. 8, 2005
All Jeff Hobbs ever wanted was a chance. A chance to play baseball... A chance to play high school football... A chance to be on a team. However because Jeff has Cerebral Palsy he was considered a risk and a liability when it came to team sports. Thanks to a chance given to him by his high school track coach Jeff now runs cross country track, proving that anything is possible if you take it one step at a time.
