Julie Harris can usually sense when something is wrong with her son, Brett Harris.
It was once that her mother's intuition told her to stop the car, pull over into the parking garage and give Brett a moment. He opened the door and threw up about 17 times before regaining his composure, getting back into the car, and continuing on for his radiation therapy appointment.
Since October 2023, radiation has been a reality for Brett as he battles with a brain tumor he was first diagnosed with in his freshman year of high school.
Yet, none of that has stopped him from becoming one of the best high school baseball players in the state of Iowa. His persistence has given strength and inspiration to his family.
"It's really a testament to his maturity at 15,16, 17 years old," Chicago White Sox minor leaguer and brother of Brett, Calvin Harris, told USA TODAY Sports. "At that age, everybody thinks they're invincible, like nothing bad can happen."
