🦅💥 Eagles’ Secret Star Gifts Young Cancer Survivor Boy Sunday’s Game Tickets: Football’s Power to Inspire! 🏈
CAMDEN, N.J. (WPVI) -- Fifteen-year-old Jaden Mohan arrived at Cooper Cancer Center expecting a routine doctor's appointment.
Instead, the Egg Harbor Township, New Jersey, teen was surprised with four tickets to Sunday's Philadelphia Eagles game against the Los Angeles Rams.
The gift, presented by Dunkin' in honor of Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, marks a joyful milestone for Mohan, who completed treatment for osteosarcoma six months ago. The bone cancer diagnosis last June led to surgery on his arm and months of chemotherapy and blood transfusions.
"I was surprised because I'm very lucky to go to an Eagles game," Mohan said.
Kal Shah, a Dunkin franchiser, delivered the tickets with a message of encouragement: "Keep up the fight and go Eagles."
Mohan's father, Shiv Mohan, reflected on the family's journey through his son's illness.
"It was a long journey and we pray every day for his recovery and to live a normal life once again, and so far it's in the positive," he said.
Now in rehabilitation and undergoing follow-up scans, Jaden described the experience of treatment as isolating.
"It was hard. It was kind of boring. I was in the hospital all the time," he said.
Sunday's game will be the first for Jaden, his two siblings, and his father. Shiv Mohan offered advice to other families facing similar challenges.
"Don't take anything for granted because a simple hurt in his shoulder or any part of the body you might ignore it, but follow up," he said.
As for what Jaden is most excited about?
"The Eagles to win," he said. "Go Birds."
Recent scans showed no signs of cancer, giving the Mohan family even more reason to celebrate this weekend.
