As you may know, I am a member of the men’s basketball team here at McDaniel. Last week, my teammates and I had the honor of signing a new member to our team.
Our new member is Joshua Hirtle, a nine-year-old from Sykesville, Maryland. Joshua was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia and has completed his chemotherapy treatment and is doing well.
Joshua has been active around our team even before signing with us. He has attended basketball camps during the summer where a couple guys and I have been able to help him work on his basketball skills. Joshua has also been to many pick-up games during our off-season, which has given him the chance to hang out with us.
The day Joshua signed was a very proud day for the McDaniel community and the men’s basketball program. We look forward to Joshua to be a part of this team and be a source of positive energy that he seems to always have.
