The first short walk 6-year-old Luke Akerstrom took in public since a rare form of encephalitis unexpectedly struck him last New Year's Eve consisted of a few slow steps into the waiting arms of Jacksonville Jaguars center Brad Meester. As the rest of the Jags players and coaches watched, Akerstrom took five steps on the team's training field, the first he had taken alone since a 35-minute seizure last Dec. 31 confined him to a wheelchair.

Luke had to walk again. He had to. "Mommy," he said to his mother a few weeks ago, "I have to walk because Jaguars don't roll, they run."
