Miracle at Manchester (2022)

Post by bunniefuu »

[MUSIC - WEARETHEGOOD,

"YOUNG WILD & ALIVE"]

Stars up above me,

stars in my eyes.

Fire below me

starting to rise rise.

I'm my own captain,

hanging on tight tonight.

Pointless to try and

turn back the time.

I've never been

this old in my life.

Load up my spaceship, tear

through the sky I might.

I don't want to wake

up and let my dreams--

You ready?

Bro, always.

That's good, man.

That's good.

You ready?

No.

No?

No.

Man, my batting average

has been terrible

these past couple weeks.

Bro, you got this.

I can barely get basketball.

You got this.

All right, all right, all right.

Dude, you're awesome.

All right.

Whatever.

All right.

Hey, listen, I got to go class.

I'll see you at practice, right?

See ya.

I'm young, wild and alive.

Oh, my goodness.

Hello.

Well?

Well, what?

OK, aren't you excited?

Oh, you mean excited

for the biggest baseball

game of my entire life?

Yes.

Yes.

Do you also want to

walk me to class?

You don't mind if I do.

Let's go.

So here we are.

Sorry I have to say goodbye.

[inaudible]

OK, it's time for class.

[bell ringing]

Awesome.

[music playing]

Hello?

I'm inside the Toyota.

Hello?

Oh, hey.

Hello.

How are you, buddy?

I'm doing good.

I understand you work on

veterans cars for free.

I do.

Yeah, I do.

I do.

I've got a Mitsubishi that

needs brakes and maybe rotors.

Man, I want to help you brother.

But I got five

cars ahead of you.

I'm busy.

All right.

OK.

Wait, hold on.

Hold on.

All right, how about this,

come Monday, early Monday.

And when I say early,

I mean 3:00 AM.

Will that work for you?

Yeah.

OK.

3:00 AM, right

here, I'll be here.

Come quietly.

Let's not wake up the

neighbors, all right?

OK.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

Thank you very much.

Yeah, yeah, no worries.

Sorry.

But we'll do it.

We'll get it done.

OK.

Thank you.

Thanks, buddy.

[engine roaring]

[music playing]

Who was that?

Who?

That was a guy who--

Needed a brake job.

Yeah.

Well, he's going to

need rotors, too.

[laughter]

So honey, tell me, what did

you learn in school today?

So see, it's like a butterfly.

And it has all these pretty

colors and these swirly antenna

things, and they're so pretty.

They come from like

caterpillars I think.

Yeah, we learned about

it in school today.

And it's so pretty, right?

Honey, they learned

about butterflies today.

Tell your dad how a

butterfly is born.

So basically, it starts

out as a caterpillar.

Then it goes into

this nest thingy.

It comes out as a beautiful

butterfly like a miracle.

A what?

A miracle, daddy.

There's no such thing

as miracles, honey.

It's OK.

It's OK.

[crowd cheering]

Two outs with men

on first and second.

And number three, Bryson

Wheeler is up the bat.

[crowd cheering]

Good.

Come on.

You got this.

Go, Bryce.

Come on, B.

Good eye.

Good eye.

[crowd cheering]

Good.

[crowd cheering]

[music playing]

[crowd cheering]

Yes!

Let's go!

He's safe.

The Dons win.

The Dons win.

[crowd cheering]

[crowd cheering]

Atta boy, B!

Let's go.

It's just a headache.

I mean ice your foot I

think but your head, too?

Is that worse than the foot?

Do you want to lean on me?

Sweetie.

And more water, I think you

didn't drink enough water.

I probably use more water more.

Bryce.

Dad.

Check out this truck.

Oh, my goodness.

What's this?

This is sick.

Incredible, isn't it?

Can I take it for a drive?

No.

What are you encouraging here?

You can hug your old man.

Come here.

I'm proud of you, man.

Thanks, dad.

Well, I'm going with dad

No.

You mind taking my bag?

I'll call you later.

Yep.

Get some food.

Why is he showing you

trucks like that anyway?

I don't want crazy.

Mom, it's a cool truck.

Stepping on a rock,

we're just going to--

No, it's fine.

[bell rings]

OK guys, settle down.

All right, let's get

back into catechism 162.

Here we are reminded to live and

grow and persevere in the faith

until the end.

We must nourish it

with the word of God

and beg the Lord to

increase our faith.

It must be working through

charity, abounding in hope,

and rooted in the

faith of the church.

What it means is that we must

stay close to the word of God

and depend on it,

the Bible, right?

So by working through charity,

we can encourage others.

And guys, this doesn't just

happen in this classroom

or when you go to

church on Sunday.

It happens when we

go out in the world

and we leave the building.

Let's look at Hebrews 12, 1-2.

Therefore since we are

surrounded by so great a cloud

of witnesses, let us--

Thomas.

I'm sorry.

What's going on?

He's kind of--

Brycen, you OK?

I just got a nosebleed.

Here.

Run to the restroom,

get cleaned up, OK?

Thank you.

All right.

OK, guys.

Can I tell you something?

Back in the day, I would have

taken them all off your hands.

It just-- Georgia

doesn't seem right.

Apparently, this place is an

embarrassment to the city.

You got to get rid of everything

by the end of the month.

Listen, if I don't get

rid of them, they will.

I gave a lot to the fire

department to practice on.

Dude, I would help you out,

but Marilyn would k*ll me.

Wait a minute.

What is this?

Are you kidding me?

[laughter]

Is this a '67?

Are you kidding me?

'67.

You like her?

Do I like her?

Yeah.

George, this was my dream car.

I'll tell you what.

Take her, my gift to you.

Come on, you're kidding.

She's yours.

OK.

Just don't tell

Marilyn, all right?

You got it.

Come on.

You ready?

That was pretty good.

What?

Getting out of class.

Dude, what are

you talking about?

Nosebleed.

Hey, did you pick one out

just to get out of class?

Dude, seriously?

Bryce.

Are you OK, man?

It just slipped

out of his hands.

It's OK.

Check out these shirts

I'm going to get the boys.

Why does it say touch down

with a baseball player?

Well, because most of the boys

play football and baseball.

And I thought that'd be fun.

Yeah.

How about something that says

state championship baseball?

Well, I already ordered them.

Ooh.

Ooh.

Hey, Bryce, you all right?

Bryce, are you OK?

[music playing]

Hey, honey, can I

give you a hand?

What?

Just wondering if I

could help you out.

Well, you do know I'm

working tonight, right?

I do.

Yes, I do, of course.

That's why I'm-- that's

why I'm trying to help you.

What are you doing?

Putting stuff away so that you

can get out of here faster.

And what are you doing tonight?

Me?

Tonight, I have a

very calm night plan.

I'm going to relax, sit

down, watch a little TV.

Good.

Good.

And just work on that car

that George had to get rid of,

had to get rid of.

Ed Hanson.

Do I need to remind

you that you've

had major surgery, two major

surgeries in the past month?

You know what, Ed, just a

couple of repairs for friends,

perfectly OK with that.

But this, come on, Ed.

Marilyn.

What?

Honey, it's a '67 Mustang.

No, a '67, that's my dream car.

You've heard me mention

it a million times.

And you-- now, hold on,

you being an oncology nurse

should consider this as

my own cancer project.

What in the world are

you talking about?

Rust.

No, rust is the cancer

of the automotive world.

It's terrible.

It eats away at the

engine and the organs of--

I love you.

Oh.

And don't forget to

take your medicine.

Yes, mother.

[music playing]

Did you call mom?

I did.

I did.

I texted her.

Hello, Mr. Newman.

The nurse said you

blacked out at practice.

Yeah.

Headaches.

Are you getting plenty of

fluids you know with this heat?

No, doc, no.

It's not the heat.

This kid's been playing

baseball since he was 8.

And if it's not baseball

then it's been football.

It's not the heat.

His files are good,

strong heartbeat.

I'm not hearing

anything to worry about.

When the body gets dehydrated,

sometimes the brain

shrinks from loss of fluids.

Why don't we try some

Tylenol, get plenty of fluids.

And if it continues,

make an appointment

with this pediatrician.

Sound good?

Yeah.

OK.

You're a healthy kid.

You'll be fine.

Thanks.

OK.

Let's go.

Let's go get you some food.

OK, I'm starving.

There you go, bud.

Excuse me.

Sure.

Dad.

Dad.

Dad.

Yeah.

My head is k*lling me.

Yeah.

So was it-- did you

just get dizzy or--

Just hurts.

It just hurts.

You're back.

Yeah, yeah, we're back.

Look, doc, I know my son, OK?

And there's definitely

something wrong with him.

Mr. Newman, migraines in

young people is very common.

At his age, the sports, puberty.

Puberty?

Did he take anything?

Yeah, I gave him a Tylenol.

I can order some

tests, take some blood.

But I really think

that this is just--

where does it hurt?

In the back.

Give me a minute.

Be right back.

I'm going to punch her.

No.

No, I'm going to punch her.

Puberty.

I got a kid, was here earlier.

OK.

Dad's over concerned.

He's complaining of

headaches, blacked out

of baseball practice.

Yeah, sounds like

heat exhaustion.

Let me take a look.

That's what I said.

All right, let's

get him some fluids.

Can we start a DHE drip?

And if it persists, then

let's order a CT scan.

I'll go talk to him.

[music playing]

And I don't know

about this, Bryce.

Dad, I'm feeling better.

But the doctor said he

wanted you to get some rest.

I did.

No.

Sitting on the couch,

playing Xbox for two hours

is not getting rest.

I can't miss practice.

If I miss any more than that,

I won't be allowed to play.

We got the state champs

in, what, like two weeks.

Fine, fine, fine.

Just be-- be careful.

I will.

Don't worry.

All right.

What do you say, Jack.

Hey, what's going on, bro.

Oh, let me get my bag.

Be careful.

[music playing]

OK.

Sounds good.

So what time does

he get home then?

OK.

Yeah.

Just make sure he stays there.

Oh.

Thank you.

Not a penny.

Brakes, rotors,

even tuned her up.

Yeah.

So as soon as I get out of here,

tell him to come pick him up.

He said, he's just a veteran

that wants to help people out.

Yeah, OK.

All right.

Bye now.

Hey.

Hey, excuse me.

How's Brycen?

Sorry.

I heard he passed

out at practice.

He pretty much spent the

whole night in the ER.

Oh, my gosh.

Is he OK?

Migraines, that's basically

what they said, heat exhaustion.

What they give him for that?

They gave him some

fluids, Tylenol.

They ran a CT?

No, no.

They said that wasn't necessary.

He started to feel better.

OK, Richard, I'm not trying

to get all involved here.

But a good friend of mine

is the head of neurosurgery.

Neurosurgery.

What-- no.

Yeah.

No.

I'm just saying.

I know.

I know.

No, he's-- he's feeling better.

OK.

Thank you, Sue.

Yeah.

[music playing]

It's like they're

not even trying.

Yeah.

[interposing voices]

Hey, good to see you, bro.

[interposing voices]

I have a test.

It's very strange.

You have stupid hair.

It's fine.

Would you please--

Right there, I fixed it.

[interposing voices]

[music playing]

Hey.

Hey.

Hey, bud.

You all right, man?

What happened?

They said he passed

out at school.

And what are the doctors saying?

They don't know.

[laughter]

OK.

Hey, Sue.

It's Rick.

I need your help.

OK, let me see.

We can't just find that part.

I just thought of

a few other things,

because when I told you that

come by, I forgot that--

and I-- well, those

don't come cheap.

I understand.

Yeah.

And then I had--

OK, there you go.

There you go.

There you go, buddy.

$1?

Why $1?

Because I do what I can

for my veteran brothers.

And anyway, the money

can't hug you back, right?

See, look, check that out.

That's a work of art.

Sir, thank you, sir.

God bless you.

And Semper Fi.

OK.

Take care.

And remember, if you hear

the knocking, just call me.

Yes, sir.

I did the best I could

with my limited resources.

How are you doing?

Hey.

So you're the guy that

does the repairs for $1?

Yeah, for veterans.

Do you serve?

No, no.

Sorry, sir.

My name is Miles Himmel.

I'm a local news reporter.

OK.

Wait, Larry, your dad?

Yes, sir.

Sorry to hear about him.

Thank you.

Good man, good reporter.

Hard to hear what

happened to him.

Thank you, sir.

Thank you.

Yeah.

So you volunteer to

work on veterans cars?

Yeah, when I can.

Hey, do you think

that maybe I could

ask you a couple questions?

Miles, I don't really think

that I'm much of a story,

you know what I mean.

Anyway, it's nowhere near as

important as what these guys

have done for our country.

Well, maybe I could ask

them a few questions.

Well, they're shy.

Sir, thank you.

Sorry to waste your time.

Oh, no worries.

Thank you.

Take it easy.

Mr. Newman.

Yeah.

Hi, I'm Dr. Getty.

I'm the chief of neurosurgery.

I'm the one who's going

to be operating on Brycen.

I'm sorry, what?

What did you just said?

The scans showed that he has

a large tumor in his head.

Is it cancer?

Well, we hope not.

But I do think you need

to prepare yourself.

Prepare myself?

For the possibility.

This is serious.

Oh, it is-- it's serious.

You think so?

Yes, sir.

Mr. Newman.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry, doc.

I just-- Did Sue

Wilson called you?

Yes, she's a--

she's a dear friend.

OK.

Does Bryce know?

Can I see him?

Yeah.

He's being prepped

for surgery right now.

And when I told him, he

just said, that's fine,

just sew me up tightly,

I've got a plane

to catch in two weeks for

the state championship.

Said, I can't let my team down.

Yeah.

That's him.

He's a-- he's a tough

little bugger, catcher.

I'll take you to him.

OK.

Show me something

positive anything.

Come on.

Hey, there.

Got anything for me yet?

Hey, Kurt.

Yes.

Yeah.

Working on this, I

think it's a good one.

Yeah.

I'll let know as soon as it's

done, maybe a little more time

and send it your way.

All right.

Mr. Newman, I can assure you

he is in the best of hands.

Thank you.

I'll give you a minute.

Hey, guys.

I'm sorry.

Do you think there's a

chance that we could get a--

just a minute alone with my son?

Thanks.

There he is, my main man, huh?

Hey, dad.

I love you.

Love you, dad.

So looks like they're

going to have to operate.

I heard.

Don't worry, dad.

It's just a brain tumor.

I just want them to get it

out, so I can be on that plane

to Sacramento, got to

play that game, dad.

I love you.

I love you too, mom.

Excuse me.

Are you ready?

[music playing]

I love you boy.

Bye guys.

Look at you.

You are a filthy

disgusting mess.

I know you what think.

You think I'm going to change

every spark plug, every gasket,

every hose, but I'm not.

I'm going to rip

you out of there,

and I am going to replace you.

And then you will be gorgeous.

[music playing]

Brycen's parents, can I

speak with you, please?

So I want to let know we got it.

But it did turn out to

be a cancerous tumor,

medulloblastoma.

And he did very well.

So I think he's going

to be all right.

We'll see.

OK.

OK.

Thank you.

I'll be speaking to

you guys tomorrow.

[music playing]

They got it.

[music playing]

Honey, I couldn't sleep.

Ed, the car that I saw, is

it really your dream car?

Well, I'll be honest with you.

It's more like a

nightmare car right now,

because I found a lot

of rust under there.

But it is going to

be cherry I promise.

Is this all of them?

Sure.

I know you, Ed Hanson.

You got all of these and

probably a dozen more

being delivered in the

middle of the night.

You would do

anything for anybody.

And I love that about you.

But you need to take care

of yourself, too, OK?

Please.

How can I tell these soldiers

who have given so much, how

can I tell them no?

I know it doesn't make sense.

But you have to understand that

it doesn't matter if you fought

in Nam, or you fought in

Bosnia, or Iraq, or Afghanistan,

if you weren't

married or had kids,

the thing you talked about

all the time was your car.

It's a car you're going to buy,

the car you're going to fix up,

the car you're going to

drive around, see the world.

I know it doesn't

make any sense.

Sometimes the car was the

thing that kept it going,

kept you alive, make

sure you got home safe.

OK.

Mr. Newman, hi.

Hey.

Dr. Getty said the

surgery went well, right?

Good.

How's he sleeping?

It was a little rough.

It's to be expected.

Well, his color looks good.

Mr. Newman, Brycen's

latest blood test

indicated that he's

got a staph infection.

It's probably from the surgery.

We're going to have

to clear that up

before we get into radiation.

So it's going to delay

it just a little bit.

Radiation?

You said you got it.

There is a small

area of enhancement,

but it looks like leftover

scar tissue to me.

Really, I don't think it's

anything to be worried about.

All his vitals look great.

He's doing well.

He should be waking up soon.

Thanks, doc.

Well, if you need anything

at all, just give me a buzz.

Thank you.

Thank you.

[music playing]

I'm impressed that you went

ahead and did the t-shirts.

Yeah, aren't they cool?

You know, cool would not

be the word I would use.

Well, no one else

has one like it.

Yeah, that's because no

one wants one like it.

No, I'm kidding.

I'm kidding.

Seriously though,

man, I love you.

And I'm-- I really

appreciate your friendship.

Well, I love you, too, man.

How's Brycen doing?

Oh, man.

I don't know.

It's surreal.

When I was a kid, you

get a staph infection,

it's like a little bump, right?

And it goes away.

That thing almost k*lled him.

But he's-- he's better now.

Well, I want you to know

I've been praying for you.

For me?

Yes, you and Brycen of course.

Well, I appreciate it, Mike.

I do, man.

I'm just glad that

it's all behind us now.

You know what, I'm going to go

listen to this voicemail, OK?

OK, dude.

All right.

All right, take care.

[music playing]

Hello, Mr. Newman,

this is Dr. Getty.

I've been trying to

get a hold of you.

It's important.

Can I see you in my

office tomorrow afternoon

to discuss Bryce's latest scans?

Hey, if we get everyone

to come over here.

We got some awards to give out.

All right, so we have

several awards tonight.

But I want to start with

a really special award.

This is called

the Coaches Award.

And this award is

given every year

to a player that shows

tremendous courage,

really puts the

team before himself.

And I couldn't be happier

that this young man was

able to join us tonight.

This year's Coaches Award

goes to Brycen Newman.

[applause]

You got it, buddy.

Thank you, coach.

[applause]

Florida.

[applause]

Congratulations.

Well deserved.

Love you, pal.

Thank you, coach.

All right.

[applause]

There was an area

in Brycen's brain

that had what I believe

to be scar tissue.

Nothing about it indicated

that it was cancerous.

However, it is a tumor,

and it's growing.

No.

I'm sorry.

I'm confused, because I

remember you coming downstairs

and saying that you got it.

Do you remember that?

Yes.

That was you, right?

And one of the kids

in the waiting room

got it on video,

right, said, that it's

gone a virus on TikTok.

I know.

I did get the area

that I wanted out.

But this is a very

aggressive form of cancer.

No, no, doc.

No, no buts.

No.

Mr. Newman.

No!

No.

No.

[music playing]

I'm sorry.

So what now, radiation or--

No, I have to go

back in and get it.

What?

Come on, doc.

Look, I'm not putting my

kid through that again.

Look, I want a second, a

third, and a fourth opinion.

I understand.

But whatever you decide, it

has to happen rather quickly.

Would his body even

be able to take that?

Brycen is a very strong kid.

You people are unbelievable.

What's going on?

Oh, it's Brycen Newman.

His tumor is back.

And his prognosis

is not very good.

God bless them.

Yeah.

[music playing]

Dad?

Hey.

Hey, bud.

I thought you were asleep.

Got a headache.

Are you OK?

It's gone now.

Dad, what's wrong?

They didn't get it all.

No way.

No way.

What's next?

They want to go back in.

I'm so sorry, son.

I just-- I hate that

this is happening to you.

And I wish I could trade places.

And I pray, I pray every--

every day--

Dad.

Every--

Dad.

So they have to do it again?

I'm OK with that.

Yeah.

I love you, buddy.

Love you, too, dad.

You're the strongest

person I know.

It's gonna be OK.

We'll get through

it together, OK?

[music playing]

You're going to be

just fine, dude.

I know.

What am I missing at school?

Nothing.

Coach has us conditioning

for the season.

It's not too late.

The formal dance is coming up.

And you're my date.

No, you're my date.

Oh.

I am so sorry to

interrupt Mr. Newman,

but there are a

couple of people here

who would like to have a word

with Brycen if that's OK.

Who are they?

They're from the

Make-A-Wish foundation.

Bryce?

Yeah.

OK, I'll send them in.

Lady.

Hi, Brycen.

It's so nice to meet you.

My name is Heather,

and this is Linda.

And we're from the

Make-A-Wish foundation.

And the hospital has

been sharing with us

about some of the struggles

you've been going through.

So we're here to see how we

can help maybe grant a wish.

A wish?

Yeah.

I can wish for whatever I want?

Yeah.

Dude, you can get an island.

You can get your own island.

I don't know, man.

Do a movie.

All right, make them cast

you in some like Chick Flick.

And you get to kiss a

celebrity like Selena Gomez.

OK, OK.

Calm down.

[interposing voices]

Dude, you should wish for

an autographed Tom Brady

football or what

about a ski trip

dude for 24 closest friends?

Do I have to decide now?

No.

After the surgery

and we'll be here.

I hate to break up

this party, folks.

But I'm going to have

to ask you all to leave.

I have to get Brycen ready.

Bye guys.

[music playing]

Hey, God.

It's me Rick.

Brycen's not in the room

but you know who is, the God

that we believe in.

These are the

moments, right, where

we have to ask ourselves,

what do we actually believe,

where the rubber meets

the road for our faith.

And we can't heal him, but

we know the one who can.

Philippians 4:13 says we can

do all things through Christ

who strengthens us.

In other words, what we

cannot do, He can do.

And what does God do?

Well this book is filled with

stories of miracles and signs

and wonders and

miraculous healings.

And Hebrews 13:8 says Jesus

Christ is the same yesterday,

today, and forever.

That means this is either a

book of stories or the God

who did it then,

wants to do it again.

Yes, we need a miracle.

Let's pray.

God, I don't know

if you can hear me,

and I don't know why you

did this to our family.

But I'm asking you to please,

please be with my son.

In the name of the Father, and

the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

We come to you right now.

We ask you to move the heal

Brycen from the top of his head

to the bottom of his feet.

We ask for a miracle right

now in the name of Jesus.

Please, please be with us.

There he is.

Here's my beautiful boy.

[music playing]

See you.

[music playing]

Hey.

Hey.

How you feeling?

We know we miss you at school.

We?

OK, I miss you at school.

Alex, they still didn't get it.

OK.

Listen, I don't know

about the dance this year.

OK, I want you to listen

to me when I say this.

We are going to that dance.

And if you think cancer

is going to have anything

to say about that, you

better think again.

I know I promised

you the first dance.

I think cancer's saying no.

Well, then I guess

we're just going to have

to get a higher power involved.

Let me guess, my mother.

No.

No, I'm calling God.

He trumps even your mother.

[laughter]

You're such a dork.

Kind of kid he's always

been, sports, cars.

Yeah.

Mr. Newman, how Brycen feeling?

Well, we're going to have

to start radiation and then

after that, several

months of chemotherapy.

Is this tumor ever

going to go away?

You say you got it.

You don't got it.

It's shrinking.

It's growing.

His numbers are good.

His numbers are bad.

I just don't know

what to tell him.

This is a sports kid.

He needs to be outdoors.

All we do is sit around here.

And it's k*lling him.

I understand.

It's frustrating.

But the hospital where he's

going to have the radiation,

that's a different

hospital than this.

So he'll be leaving

this hospital

at least once every single day.

So he can leave.

For treatment.

But it would mean

the world to him

if I could just take

him to a game, just--

just one ball game, please.

I'll set it up.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Hey, let's work on that form

a little bit over there.

Hey, good job right there.

Hey, guys, just get it serious.

Stop screwing around.

Here we go.

Here we go.

Let's go.

Let's go.

Let's go.

Come on.

Come on

[cheering on]

Hey.

I just got a text.

All right, he's coming tomorrow.

Bryce's dad says he's

coming to the game.

Let's go!

Hey, listen.

All right, guys, listen to me.

I want to do something special

for my friend here, all right?

But I'm not going to do

that unless we're all in.

Are we all in?

All in!

Bring it in here for a

break for Bryce.

Let's go guys.

Bryce, Bryce,

Bryce, Bryce Bryce,

Bryce, Bryce, Bryce, Bryce.

Let's go.

Tonight, we ride.

Let's go fellas.

Bring it up.

Bring it up.

[interposing voices]

[siren wailing]

[crowd cheering]

Dude, you shave your head.

No, man.

We all did.

[crowd cheering]

All in,

All in!

[crowd cheering]

Coach, coach.

Quick interview.

Sure.

Rolling?

Rolling.

Coach Doyle, tell

us a little bit

about what was

happening here tonight?

Bryce Newman,

incredible athlete,

was a linebacker and

wide receiver for us.

So devastating,

yes, brain cancer.

Yeah, it's really

unfortunate situation.

As you may recall,

coach, my father

passed from brain cancer.

So I really

understand the fight.

I'm very sorry to hear that.

Best of luck tonight.

Thank you.

Hey, Eric.

See you next week, right?

All right.

See you later.

You guys go home safely.

Hey, guys.

Hey, you Richard Newman?

I am.

Miles Himmel, a

local news reporter.

Just wondering if I could

get Brycen on camera

for a quick interview.

Yeah, ask him.

Yeah.

Yeah?

Awesome.

Right here OK?

Yeah.

Great.

Perfect.

Let's do it.

In the name of the Father, and

the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

Lord, we can do together.

And we ask that you

watch over Brycen.

And we ask that you

feel his body more.

[music playing]

Everyone knows that Saint

Joseph was a carpenter

and the father of Jesus.

What you may not know is that

he was descended from royalty.

His great, great

grandfather was King David.

That same royalty

belongs to you,

because each one of you

boys is a child of King.

God created you, and

you are his child.

[music playing]

Marilyn.

Well.

This is a real treat.

Glad I could come.

Hi.

Oh, help yourself.

I'm the one who brought it

down here remember, all right?

I appreciate it.

Who is that?

That's Richard Newman.

Everybody in the

hospital knows who he is.

Unfortunately, he has a son

here that's not doing too well.

He's only 15.

It's really sad.

What's the kid got?

Brain cancer.

Oh, God.

God bless him.

I got to go.

I got to deliver.

Yeah, I bet you do.

I can't believe I told you that.

Did I say that out loud?

Yes, you did.

I love you.

I'll see you around.

I love you, too, hon.

Thanks for lunch.

Take care, buddy.

Hey, Brycen.

Can we come in?

Yeah, sure.

Where's your dad?

He's getting lunch I think.

What are you drawing?

I like to draw cars.

Very cool.

Hey, Brycen.

Saw you on the news at

the game, really cool.

Yeah, must've been

nice to see a game.

Have you had a chance to

think about your wish?

Yeah.

Can I give away my wish?

To who?

My dad.

That's a really thoughtful idea.

And I'm very sure that he would

rather you have something.

Maybe it's something you

guys can do together.

How about a Ford Raptor?

A what?

It's a truck.

I don't know.

You told me to think big.

Oh, gosh.

I'm sorry.

Hi.

Hi.

Geez.

If I had known you were here,

I'd have brought you some food.

I can go back.

I don't mind.

We're good.

Thank you.

Are you sure?

OK.

Thank you.

So Brycen has given us his wish.

Oh.

And what pray tell

would that be ?

A Ford Raptor.

OK.

Yeah.

OK, honestly, I

can't promise you

that we can get you

a brand new car.

But stay on that wave.

We'll put the word out,

see what we can do.

Yeah, yeah.

That's good.

OK.

Yeah, that's good.

Thank you.

It's very generous.

Thank you very much.

We'll talk to you soon, Brycen.

It's great seeing you.

Thanks you guys.

All right.

Bye-bye.

A Ford Raptor, are

you out of your mind?

What?

You said it was a good truck.

I know.

But Brycen, when I was your

age, man, I had a $300 Chevelle.

Yeah.

And you walked to school in

the snow, uphill, both ways.

And it was a tundra.

OK, wise guy, wise guy.

Oh, hey, sorry guys.

Hey, Brycen, can I

borrow that sketch pad?

Yeah, I guess.

I promise you I'll

bring it back.

Thanks.

See you guys.

It was great seeing you.

Bye.

Let me tell you something.

It was tough when

I was growing up.

We had one thimble of

rice every two weeks.

OK, dad.

That's how we ate.

You know how your

grandfather was.

Look what he's been drawing.

That is a cool car.

What kind of car

do you think it is?

Maybe a Corvette.

I have no idea.

That ladies is a

Mustang, an old Mustang.

[music playing]

Huh.

We've been married

a long time, right?

And I know when you go

huh, it doesn't mean huh

like another person

might say huh.

It means huh,

there's something I'm

thinking that's going

to change your life.

So what is your huh today?

Well, you said this

was your cancer project

because of the rust,

was that right?

Yeah, there's a lot of

rust as you can see.

Yeah.

That's for sure.

Well, do you remember

that kid I was telling you

about with brain cancer.

You OK?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Brycen.

Brycen, yeah.

Well, the Make-A-Wish foundation

was in his room today.

They were?

Yeah.

What did you wish for?

He wished for a car.

Now, he gave them a

drawing of I guess

what was his dream car and whoa,

who looked a lot like this.

I'm just saying.

[laughter]

Dear, Jesus.

I love you.

I trust you.

I want you to know that

no matter what happens,

I will always love you.

I pray for my faith

and salvation,

be strong in your eyes.

If I should die, then I'll

be there in heaven with you.

In your name, I pray.

Amen.

[music playing]

Mr. Newman, hi, my

name is Neerav Jadeja..

I'm CEO here at General

Valley Hospital.

Hi.

I have someone here to see you.

Hey, oh, I'm Ed.

I'm nurse Marilyn's husband.

She may have told you I was

coming by to see Brycen.

May I come in?

Yeah, please, please.

Thank you.

It's nice to meet you.

I don't want to wake him up.

Hey, Bryce.

Buddy, hey, hey.

I got someone here

who wants to meet you.

Hey, Brycen.

I'm Ed Hanson you know your

nurse, Marilyn, the pretty one,

I'm her husband.

Hey.

You're not hitting

on her, are you?

Little bit.

I have this car I

want to give you.

It's a '67 Mustang.

And I want to fix it up.

I want to make it

perfect for you.

A car for me?

Where is it?

It's at our house.

Speak of the devil.

Hey, Bryce.

She is pretty.

Hey, watch it.

Keep your hands off.

So I got this car at a junkyard.

And it didn't make

the boss happy.

But I was tinkering with it,

and she told me the other day

about and your situation.

And so we were kind

of thinking that it

might be a good project for us.

Like I'll fix it, but

I want your input.

And it's going to take a while.

But I figured that it gave us

something to look forward to.

Yeah.

OK.

But you had to do

something for me.

You got to get better, OK?

OK.

OK.

I'll let you sleep.

Ed, thank you so much.

Take care yourself.

Thank you.

All right.

Dad.

Is that incredible or what?

How cool was that?

When I was your age,

I had a $300 Chevelle.

Dad.

I got you.

Love you, buddy.

Love you.

[music playing]

I think you're going

to be very impressed.

I had a lot of help, though.

Yeah?

Yeah.

You're going to love it.

It's cherry.

It's so great.

Yeah, anyone, you

pick anyone you want.

How about this one?

How about-- how about

something a little more--

something more like that.

OK.

It's good.

You're cool with that.

[music playing]

Hey, not bad, not bad at all.

Brycen.

Oh, hey guys.

How are you.

It's good to see you.

We got something for you.

We know the treatments

have been a little much,

and they're taking

a toll on you.

So we got something to hopefully

make it a little easier.

You got me an iPad?

Yeah.

This is so cool.

Yeah, you can make

drawings on that.

Thank you so much.

Good to see you.

OK, you take care.

Take care, Brycen.

[music playing]

Alex.

You OK?

Yeah.

Yeah.

No practice today?

No, I took the day off.

There's nothing

else they can do.

The tumor, they've

tried everything.

So they're sending him to this

experimental trial in Florida.

I've never had anyone

die in my life.

When we can't, God can, right?

Yeah, that's--

that sounds great.

But no offense, why hasn't he?

I don't know.

But I do know this.

God is still in control.

He still sits on that throne.

He is still in the

miracle business.

Alexander, how many times

have you sat right here,

and cheered, prayed

for a miracle?

That's what we need to do.

[music playing]

Dad.

Yeah, buddy?

Would you be mad if I

gave the tablet to Kimmi?

Who's Kimmi?

The kid in the ward.

Well, I don't know if we have

enough money to buy a new one.

That's OK, dad.

It's the right thing to do.

She gets bored and

she doesn't have one.

OK.

Dad.

Yeah, bud?

Am I going to die?

What?

He's not going to make it.

That's what I heard the

doctor say about Jason

Lyons the other night.

Am I not going to make it?

Am I not going to make it, dad?

Dad, am I going to die?

No, no, no.

Bryce, I don't want to

hear you say that again.

You understand me?

Bryce, we're going to b*at

this together, me and you, OK?

We're a team.

We're a team.

We're a team.

Are we a team?

We're a team.

And we're going to b*at

this thing together.

I love you.

I love you too, dad I

put my trust in God.

Put your trust in God.

I trust God.

OK.

Tell me more about

this Kimmi person.

I taught her how to spell

her name with blocks.

[music playing]

Hey.

OK.

Now, that's great.

Thank you.

Yeah, he'll be so happy to

see all his friends again

before he goes to Florida, so.

Let's hope so.

All right, thank you so much.

Bye-bye.

What are we doing?

If I told you, it

wouldn't be surprised.

[music playing]

OK, you guys can

all have a seat.

So now that our guest

of honor has arrived,

we are gathered to support

Brycen Newman, our fellow Don

on his fight.

So I've asked Father

Martin to come and pray

with us for Brycen.

Thank you.

So good to have each

of you guys here today.

Listen, the Kingdom

of God has never

meant to be a spectator sport.

Brycen, you'd be the

first to tell us.

The only way you win a

game is by actually getting

on the field and fighting.

And this is our field

of faith, you guys.

This is our moment to

believe that what we read

is actually real, that his word

is more real than what we feel.

You and I have a chance to

put Gods word to the test.

In fact, the book of

James says that if someone

sick like Brycen, we're

to lay hands on them

and God will heal them.

That's either real

or it's not, but I

say we find out right now.

In the name of the Father, and

the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

God, we just thank

you for what it is

you accomplished on the cross.

We thank you God, that when

you said it is finished,

you were talking

about sin, death, hell

and every...[inaudible]

[music playing]

In the name of the Father, and

the Son, and the Holy Spirit,

Amen.

It is done.

[applause]

[music playing]

OK, buddy.

Transport should

be here any minute

to take you to the airport.

But you're getting

your own plane.

Dad.

Yeah?

Are you mad at God?

What-- no.

Yes.

Yes, I am.

Do you think he has a plan?

Jeez, Bryce, I don't know.

I like to think that he does.

I hope that he does.

But I'm just not so sure.

Where are these guys?

Father, thank you for my dad.

Thank you for his love.

Thank you for

allowing me to have

this wonderful man in my life.

God, please, calm his heart, let

him know that you are with him.

I pray this in your name.

Amen.

All right, now, we got

all your bags ready.

I just want to--

Oh, hey.

Are those the scans you

want us to take with us?

No, they're not here.

Who's not here, transport?

No, look, we are going

to be late for the plane.

No, I canceled them.

What?

The tumor's gone.

What do you mean?

We double, triple, quadruple

checked and tested everything.

Brycen's tumor, it's gone.

Are you sure?

100%.

Not only that, the area

around it has healed.

Son, yesterday, you had a

probable death sentence.

Today, God is giving you

another chance at life.

Congratulations.

Well, wait, what about--

what about Florida.

No need to go to Florida.

Plenty of beaches right

here in California.

[music playing]

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God.

[music playing]

I knew it.

No, it's great.

OK.

Thanks for calling.

[music playing]

Lucy can you move your

head to the left a little bit?

You guys move a

little bit closer.

You guys look pretty good.

All right, on the count of

three, ready, one, two, three.

How much time?

Wait, guys, guys, guys,

guys, hold up, hold up.

What is it?

Some of these on the

phone for you Bryce.

And they said they're

pulling up the hill.

What?

Oh.

Oh, what?

Oh, it is.

Dad, what-- no.

No.

Dude.

What is this?

This is for you, buddy.

For me?

Oh, my goodness.

This is the car?

This is your car.

This is our car.

My God.

I love you.

I love you, too.

What do you think, buddy?

I think it's amazing.

I think get in.

Get in there.

Get in there.

[interposing voices]

Yes, of course. hold on.

Be careful.

You got it, sir.

Hey, I love you, kid.

Hey, you hear me?

I love you, too, dad.

All right, buddy.

Have fun.

Have fun.

[music playing]

All right.

What's up, boys?

Let's go.

Let's go.

It took some time.

But I found the story.

You see, the Miracle

of Manchester

wasn't just about Brycen

Newman being healed.

It was so much more than that.

It was about reminding

us that miracles are real

and how when we love,

and give, and believe,

we all become part of

making miracles real again.

[MUSIC - RACHEL PLATTEN, "FIGHSONG"]

It's about putting on a show

for him by giving our best

and showing that we're going

to fight while he fights.

And just that he

could be out here

shows us like he's out here

in the hot sun with cancer.

And we ought to keep

fighting and get better.

We can't quit out there.

It's going to mean

a lot when we got

to get that victory for him.

This young man is the most

courageous kid I know.

He's definitely an

inspiration for us

to go through whatever

struggles we're going through,

whether that be on the

field or off the field.

Make an expl*si*n.

And all those

things I didn't say,

wrecking balls inside my brain.

I will scream them loud tonight.

Can you hear my voice this time?

This is my fight song,

take back my life song.

Bryson, right here,

give us your Dons.

Dons on three.

Dons on three.

One, two, Dons!

My power's turned on starting

right now, I'll be strong.

That you can b*at it.

That you can b*at it.

There you go, buddy.

Fight, fight, right?

Yeah.

You can b*at it.

Fight.

Yeah.

I love that.

I love you, too.

I'm so sorry having

you go through this.

At one point, the

tumor was gone.

But it returned.

Everybody's worried about me.

In too deep.

His friends were asked to

report to the school's bleachers

in red shirts to

show their support.

There's about 1,600 kids.

And they all put their hands

over me like that over my head.

And I was afraid.

Things I didn't say.

Praise your name ask this

in Christ our Lord, Amen.

He believes that,

that day he was saved.

I said I'm done.

I said I'm good.

So I am good.

Three weeks later, we

went back to the hospital.

They did another MRI.

And the enhancement

they call it had shrunk.

They'd never seen-- the

doctors couldn't explain it.

They just say it's a miracle.

And we kind of know what it was.

My fight song.

And I don't really care

if nobody else believes

because I still got a

lot of fight left in me.

A lot of fight left in me.

Like a small--

If you walk down, I mean the

oncology floor at the hospital

and you see all these children

fighting and going through pain

and they just want

to be cancer free.

And so we're selling

these t-shirts

to help the researchers

find a cure for cancer.

So those kids be cancer free.

I might only have one match,

but I can make an expl*si*n.

This is my fight song,

My power's turned on.

No I've, still got a

lot of fight left in me.

Like a small boat on the ocean,

sending big waves into motion.

Like how a single word
