Last month, in a letter dated April 27 (aka the day the Pacers beat the Cavs to force a first-round Game 7) rising Indiana star Victor Oladipo wrote a letter to a 10-year-old fan named Cameron Kirk who's battling leukemia. A few days after it was sent, Cameron's mom posted the letter to her Twitter and now (as is the cycle of media) we're posting it for you.
I recently heard about your battle with Leukemia, and I just wanted to encourage you to stay strong! I know this is a scary and very frustrating time right now, but you must believe in yourself and everyone around you that is helping you through this time.
For those of you with so-so eyesight, the the letter read:
In response, the young fan told WISH-TV that the message was "really cool."
"I was already a fan and then when I read the letter, it's the best feeling to know that someone so important took the time out to write our son a letter and then expressed his faith in God in his letter," his mother, Carrie, added. "That just sealed the deal with us with Oladipo. We'll always be fans."
