Joe Burrow, Ja'Marr Chase make dream come true for boy with brain cancer

Dreams came true Thursday when an 11-year-old Northern Kentucky boy met his heroes.

Gavin Hoagie has medulloblastoma group three, which his doctors said is a rare, aggressive form of brain cancer. The cancer has a low survival rate.

Hoagie has endured radiation treatment and intensive chemotherapy treatments, his family said.

On Wednesday, he said his wish was to meet his two favorite NFL players: Joe Burrow and Ja’Marr Chase.

His dream came true just a day later.

Setup outside of Bengals’ practice, Gavin got to meet, talk and get autographs from the Bengals’ stars he calls “family members.”

Burrow, Chase, Tee Higgins, and other Bengals stopped to meet one of their biggest fans.

Gavin’s family says they have been invited to the Bengals game against the Tennessee Titans on Sunday.
