A video of John Cena watching a young fan's story is making the rounds. It starts with a boy telling the story of his mother's breast cancer diagnosis. They had previously been to a WWE event where Cena gave the kid his post-match wristband.

The boy explains that his mother had to undergo a six-hour procedure, but before she did, he gave her the wristband and told her to "Never give up". His mom ended up cancer-free. The footage shows Cena watching the youngster's recollection. Just as the actor/wrestler starts to get teary-eyed, the mother and son burst through the signage to thank the gentle giant.
