 KFXZ 1520. I'm John Burns. Former New Orleans Saints safety Steve Gleason will be honored with the 2024 Arthur Ashe Courage Award at the ESPYs. The award is granted to those whose contributions transcend sports, like Ashe, whose work to improve the lives of people with HIV began after his own diagnosis. Gleason, diagnosed with ALS in 2011, founded Team Gleason to improve life for those living with ALS.
