 * Summary - Nate Brodie was a normal thirteen year old quarterback. He loved football and loved his football team. One day he goes into a store and sees a Tom Brady signed football for five hundred dollars and he saves up his money and buys it. When he bought it he was put into a raffle with thousands of other people to have a chance at throwing for a million dollars. Nate wins the raffle and will have the chance to throw for a million dollars at halftime during a New England Patriot’s game. Nate had a golden throwing arm but with all of the pressure of throwing for a million dollars he began to feel it. He started to mess up on everything and at one point Nate just wanted to get the throw over with. So on the day of the throw his hero (Tom Brady) comes up to him for moral support during his throw. He makes the thirty yard throw and Nate wins a million dollars. With that million dollars he first pays for his blind friend’s surgery to help her to be able to see again.
