Accomplishment #5: Born Healthy Despite Mother's Circumstance
Pam Tebow was diagnosed with Amoebic Dysentery from drinking contaminated water in the Philippines. Her doctors told her the tumor that formed would negatively affect her baby. They told her to abort the baby but Pam and her husband Bob refused. Their fifth child, Timothy Richard, was born healthy despite sharing the womb with a tumor. "Miraculously" the bleeding Pam faced subsided and after they flew to Manilla for the birth, Tim says he was "followed immediately by a blood clot that was bigger than I was." (lifenews)

Accomplishment #2: Tim Tebow Foundation
In college, Tim wanted to start a foundation but the NCAA rules wouldn't allow him to. He however did create a smaller program with the help of some classmates. The program is called W15H and is also part of the Tim Tebow Foundation. The W15H program mission statement is to fulfill the dreams of children with life-threatening illnesses who wish to meet Tim Tebow. "Tim Tebow made volunteering time and raising money for worthwhile causes fashionable on our campus" said UF coach Urban Meyer. (timtebowfoundation) The Tim Tebow Foundation was put into place after Tim graduated from the University of Florida. Along with the W15H program, the Tim Tebow Foundation also supports Uncle Dick's orphanage in the Philippines, Timmy's playrooms in children's hospitals, and now the Tebow Cure Hospital which is currently being built. The mission statement of the whole foundation is to provide faith, hope, and love to those in need of a brighter day.
