Sports teams across the world play valiantly to win a match. But the fear-induced scenes from the Monday Night Football game on January 2 this year compelled the competing teams to pray for Damar Hamlin. The Buffalo Bills’ safety collapsed on the field after a tackle and needed 9 minutes of CPR by the training staff before shifting to a local hospital under critical conditions.

Six months later, the 25-year-old had come a long way in his recovery. An emotional Hamlin presented the prestigious Pat Tillman Award at the 2023 ESPYS on Wednesday. The overwhelming scenes from the event did not go unnoticed by Arnold Schwarzenegger’s ex-wife, Maria Shriver, as she posted a heartwarming message on her Instagram.

Wednesday evening was filled with poignant scenes at the ESPY Awards as the Buffalo Bills Training staff were recognized for their efforts to resurrect Hamlin after a cardiac arrest on the field. The football player broke down in tears as he announced the winners of the Pat Tillman Award, and the crowd gave him a standing ovation.

Shriver was happy to witness the “absolutely beautiful moment” and opines that the touching sight is a “wonderful reminder that service is within all of us.” The Kennedy daughter shared her thoughts on serving others and lifting people.

“Let this moment be that reminder you need to do something great, to help someone else, big or small!” she concluded her moving post. Earlier, Shriver wished Damar Hamlin luck as he geared up for his comeback onto the field after months of recovery.
