You must really have a heart of stone if a story like this can't move you.
Story:
Fear and doubt never had a chance. Not from the minute Sam Flores laid eyes on 8-year-old Cole Massie wrapping both arms around a handrail at the Glendale YMCA and inching his way up the last 16 steps to make it to his karate class on time.
Those steps were supposed to be Flores' way out of this dilemma - the fear and doubt he was feeling.
The fifth-degree black belt sensei - a master karate teacher - feared no man. But he had come to fear this little boy with cerebral palsy who wanted so badly to learn karate.
For hours, Cole would sit in his wheelchair in his room watching pirate movies on TV and practicing karate moves to help the good guys win, says his mother, Michelle Massie.
For his 9th birthday, he wanted only one thing, he told her. Real karate lessons.
