The big game won't decided until Sunday, but one young Kansas City Chiefs fan already feels like a champion.
January 30, 2020, 6:32 PMWill Walker, a Missouri middle school student who has been battling cancer for five years, received a special Super Bowl surprise during a pep rally on Wednesday.
"The community was already raising money for him to do the trip, so the tickets were the missing piece in the whole thing," he said."We wanted to do something really exciting for him."Unbeknownst to Walker, KC Wolf -- the team's mascot -- hand-picked him from the bleachers and brought him down to the center of the gymnasium where he was presented with a giant poster and tickets to Super Bowl LIV.
Fighting All Monsters , a Facebook community that helps children battling cancer and their families, backed a fundraising effort for the young Chiefs fan to help him make the trip and see his team play on the biggest stage in the NFL. Kansas City Chiefs fans celebrate with Chiefs tight end Blake Bell after he pulled in a touchdown reception early in the fourth quarter against the Houston Texans, Jan. 12, 2020, at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Mo.With more than $26,000 in donations through the Facebook fundraiser in just nine days, paired with the tickets from Central Bank of the Midwest, Walker's dream to make the trip to Miami will soon become a reality.
