Anthony Borges is a hero in the truest sense of the word. The 15-year-old was shot in the back five times as he helped his classmates hide from the shooter who killed 14 students and three staff members at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Fla. on Feb. 14. Borges is also a fan of FC Barcelona, and he even trained at the club's academy in Florida in 2016. After being made aware of his fandom, Barcelona took an active role in raising money for Borges' medical treatment. They also sent him a jersey signed by the players, including Lionel Messi. Now, they're inviting him to fulfill one of his lifelong dreams: traveling to the Camp Nou and meeting the first team. From the club's website: Let's hope Borges gets well enough to make the cross-Atlantic trip soon. He certainly deserves the experience and much, much more.
