    • Trivia
      The real Daniel Huffman was an extra in the movie. He and his girlfriend were spectators at one of the football games.
    • Goofs
      In the scene where Daniel is being given a blood test to check for compatibility as an organ donor, the nurse changes the tube on the hypodermic needle to take a second blood sample and tube remains empty after connecting it to the needle for the entire time it's seen on camera. Normally the blood immediately begins gushing into the tube at a quick rate.

    Heartwarming Movie
    I remember seeing this movie when it was on TV. I was saddened to learn that Daniel passed in 2004.
