When you cheer someone on, they know you’ve got their back. That goes for sports and life. The lines between those are blurred for FC Dallas and one of their season ticket holders. Noelle Walker has the story.
Erik Tillisch is an FC Dallas fan and season ticket holder. On Tuesday he was at the team's practice in Frisco, hoping to inspire others battling cancer.
"The surgeon examined me and felt a lump in my chest," Tillisch said recalling his summer diagnosis."It turned out to be stage-2 breast cancer." Tillisch went to a match over the summer with a sign asking FC Dallas player Paul Arriola to give him his 'cancer shirt', a shirt with a choice word about cancer that Arriola wore in support of his mother-in-law's cancer battle. Arriola handed the shirt over to Tillisch. It was with him from his first chemotherapy treatment to his last.Get DFW local news, weather forecasts and entertainment stories to your inbox.
'I didn't think that this shirt would make the impact that it did," Arriola said."That's what life's about. It's about perspective and this is a great message to give to others to keep fighting, to keep believing in themselves."
