GLENDALE, AZ — A 9-year-old boy from South Dakota is celebrating his end of cancer treatment and he got a special congratulations from one of Arizona’s biggest sports stars.

Tennyson Erickson was diagnosed in February of 2017 and had to endure two surgeries, three ER visits, three bone aspirations, 21 spinal taps, 10 different chemo therapies, and three blood transfusions.

On Thursday, May 28, after 1,206 days in treatment, Tennyson threw on his #11 Larry Fitzgerald jersey and rang the bell at Stanford Children’s Castle of Care Hospital in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, signifying the end of his treatments.

The celebration didn’t end there. As a surprise, Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Fitzgerald got on a Zoom call with Tennyson and congratulated him personally.
