Tampa Bay Supports the Next Tiger Woods

Harris Armstrong could be the next Tiger Woods. Harris is 12 years old and has already broken 70 twice. Golf legends such as Tiger Woods and Charles Howell III are already admiring his talent.

Unfortunately, Harris had an MRI that revealed he had a tumor on his spinal cord. Gayle Guyardo is a family friend as well as a News Channel 8 morning anchor who had the following to say about Harris’ situation and how they support him with silicone wristbands.

In the news industry, we don’t grandstand when it comes to our beliefs and opinions…But if you take a close look, you’ll see I’ve lifted the ban on wearing bands. I’m supporting family friends I cherish and a young boy who is one of life’s true heroes.

But in typical Armstrong family style, all their friends and family were encouraged to cry only a little so we could focus on fighting for Harris.

Part of that fight was slipping on one of those popular wristbands. On a break from his job at Bank of Tampa, Jeff raced over to the News Center and dropped off a small envelope with white bands inside. They have clever indentations on them that look like the surface of a golf ball, and the words read “Pray Strong”.

The powerful message is spreading. Harris has been featured on local television stations like our morning show at WFLA. Local newspapers have featured Harris, and his story has been on Orlando’s Golf Channel.

Who knew a simple wristband could overpower negative feelings with thoughts of hope and appreciation?”
