Grey Cup pays special visit to young cancer survivor in Olds
The Grey Cup made a very special stop at an elementary school in Olds for a student battling cancer.
Ryan Sceviour, offensive lineman for the Calgary Stampeders, along with Stamps alumni Jay McNeil and Stu Laird took the Grey Cup for a surprise trip to Ėcole Olds Elementary School on Monday to see Stamps fan Carter Thompson, who recently overcame Stage III non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
Carter was also born with a heart condition and had a heart transplant as a newborn. After that he had many years of good health until his cancer diagnosis last summer.
After sessions of chemotherapy and isolation his cancer has gone into remission. He still has regular appointments to monitor his health.
