{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Tom Brady warmed the hearts of NFL fans last week when he gave his hat to a young boy who was holding up a sign that read "Tom Brady helped me beat brain cancer."
The boy was identified as 9-year-old Noah Reeb. The Utah boy’s battle with brain cancer, and how the Tampa Bay Buccaneers helped inspire him to beat the disease, was chronicled in an ESPN segment on Sunday. Brady sent a video to Noah and his family during the journey.

"I always watch that video. Just like, to remind me of … I mean, Tom Brady thinks I can beat cancer so I guess I can beat cancer," Noah says in the video.
His parents promised him that when he beat cancer and was healthy enough to travel, they would take him to see Brady live. By late summer, the cancer was gone.
Noah and his father were at the Oct. 24 game against Chicago and Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin was the one who got Brady’s attention. The seven-time Super Bowl champion went up to Noah before the end of the game and give him his hat, leaving him with tears of joy.

"I was in shock. I don’t really believe it’s happening. He sticks the hat on my head. He shakes my hand and he says something like ‘Nice job, buddy,’" Noah said.

Thank you and your family for your beautiful blessing."
