Lewis said, “I was really proud to see him up there just showing everyone that you should never give up”
“I did see some of the highlights and it was quite emotional to watch just knowing his journey, where he started and the things he has gone through,”

“To come back after so many years is just proof [about] never giving up on your dreams.”
