Jimmy Valvano’s 1993 Espy Speech – “Don’t Ever Give Up”

Quite possibly one of the greatest speeches of all time concerning courage and the unwillingness of the human spirit to never give up.

Diagnosed with metastatic adenocarcinom, a type of glandular cancer that can spread into the bones, Jimmy Valvano faced his battle with cancer the way he faced life…with courage, positive thinking and an openness to share his life with others.
