Before AJ McCarron won a National Championship, he received a memento from a three-year-old cancer patient that’s been as valuable as any ring: a bracelet inscribed with the words “Just Trust.” The two shared a bond as people who endured long recovery and even longer odds of survival.Tom Rinaldi reports.

“We’ve both been through tough times. You know, the doctors both told our families we were supposed to die, we weren’t supposed to make it. You know, to me, we’re both miracles, walking miracles in a way.” — AJ McCarron, on his bond with Starla Chapman  

“I was talking to my daughter the night that she was diagnosed, and I said, ‘Starla, what’s going on in your head right now?’  And she looked at me — and my wife was about 20 feet away from us — and she said, ‘Dad, just trust, Dad.’ And ever since then we’ve just, just been trusting because Starla told us to.” — Korey Chapman, on how is daughter reacted to her diagnosis

“I remember standing by Starla’s bed and just whispering to her, ‘He’s wearing your bracelet.’ And that meant a lot to me because he said he was going to do it and, and he actually did it.” —DeAndra Chapman, on seeing AJ McCarron wearing the bracelet her daughter gave him in the BCS Championship game
