Ramon-Hunter first began having trouble with his heart when he was two months old. He has undergone five surgeries to correct the problem which prevents blood from getting to his lungs properly.
He’s now the Haltom High School football team’s manager, and his teammates signed helmets and poster boards for him.
The team has planned to wear orange and black Thursday in his honor, calling to King Sammy Day, MyFoxDFW.com reported.
