Broncos safety T.J. Ward named Miles Taylor as his "Boss of the Month" a program in the T.J. Ward Foundation that encourages fans to be leaders in the communities.

Miles is 5 years old and has a terminal illness called Menkes disease. He wasn't expected to survive past the age of 2.

Now Miles and his parents are spreading awareness about his rare disease.

On Sunday, the Taylor family got to be on the field and meet Ward before kickoff.
