5-year-old cancer survivor scores touchdown for favourite team

The Cleveland Browns made Ryan Encinas’ night.

THE CLEVELAND BROWNS are getting ready for the upcoming NFL season and, to thank their fans, they held an open ‘family night’ training session this weekend.

One little boy in particular was made to feel extra special when, with blocking from the Browns’ star player Trent Richardson, he ran in a 40-yard touchdown.

Ryan Encinas, a five-year-old cancer survivor dodged, ducked and dove his way into the endzone in front of 24,000 screaming fans.

“To be at that stadium and having everyone yelling his name, yelling for him and cheering him on, I can’t imagine,” Robert Encinas, Ryan’s father, told the team’s official website.

“There’s nothing that he’s afraid of. He’s so happy to meet anybody and everybody.”

Encinas was diagnosed with a rare and aggressive form of cancer known as Pleuropulmonary Blastoma as a three-year-old.
