PITTSBURGH — A boy who was originally from Pittsburgh and later moved to Cape Coral, Fla., recently lost his battle against spinal cancer – but his death has not stopped his family from pursuing his dream.
Eddie Buggs, 13, didn't want to go Disney World, he didn't ask for an iPad -- all this brave young man asked for was to be on ESPN.
Eddie died before that dream was realized, but his family never stopped pushing for that dream to come true. Their efforts weren't in vein, and over the weekend the talented Eddie Buggs made his ESPN debut.

Frankie Dodd said his cousin was a standout in the classroom and on the football field.
"We called him 'Lightning Buggs' because when he had the ball, he was gone," said Dodd.
A Facebook page has also been set up in honor, and in this YouTube memorial video, check out Eddie's incredible talents.
