so thank you for being with us. and, james, can i ask you also, did tom brady send a video also over the course of the treatment? he did, that was why his thing was so full circle, and that was just because, you know, you are never more than a couple of touches away from anybody, really. and people know, family members, friends know, just know noah s passion for football and the love of tom brady, so, you know, i m not sure exactly how it happened. i got a second cousin todd heap who played for the ravens, i know he was instrumental in that process somehow and my wife jackie received a video message from just hit her phone out of the blue one day, came at a very pivotal moment, noah was having a tough time, and sitting in the driveway in the car talking it through and boom, this message hit and jackie opened the phone and looked and there was tom
on the same night tom brady threw his 600th touchdown pass, a huge milestone, he managed to create an even more important moment. 18 for 100. is that official? it might have been 99. oh, little boy so excited. he s crying. he got to meet tom brady. you can see it right there. brady took a few minutes after the game to give a hat to that young fan, crying tears of joy after he saw a sign that read, quote, tom brady helped me beat brain cancer. joining us now from utah is that remarkable young man, noah reed, and his father james. noah, it is so great to see you. and i m jealous. tom brady is my favorite. tom brady is my favorite also.
neighborhood and school and church, et cetera, how wonderful people can be and then the layer over the top of all of that, especially in those really difficult times when, you know, as a parent you there aren t enough stuffed animals or hugs to give at some point, what we noticed was that noah would gravitate toward it was always football. and then especially tom brady. he has a lot of athletes he looks up to in football programs between college and pro. but there were moments, really difficult, dark times when noah just needed football and especially to watch tom. and what we noticed is that would just elevate him, just lift his spirits, help with morale, and help him stay motivated and help him have that little extra push to kind of get
through those really difficult times. noah, you were holding a sign that said tom brady helped me beat brain cancer. but i have to say, i think your courage is helping so many others around the scountry righ now. so what do you want people to know? what is your advice to others going through tough times? just keep fighting. just listen to your mother. yeah. listen to your mom. that s good advice always. let me tell you that. what about the hat? he gave you a hat, yes? yeah. show them. let s see it. hold it up. that s sweet. what are you going to do with that? i m probably going to hang it in my room. i ll give you 6 bucks for it.
with a very personalized, very sweet message for noah, message of encouragement and faith, said he was thinking about him, praying for him, and he knew it would be okay and that s why we were just, like, you know, we want to just to be sure and say, hey, that was super helpful. and he is okay. and, you know, here he is. it is just wonderful. you know, noah, football matters, touchdowns matter, but what matters more is kindness. and tom brady showed that to you and courage, which you re showing to the world. can i get one go bucks, go patriots right now, or go brady. give me a go brady shout. go brady! all right. go noah. noah reed, james, thank you for being with us. you put a smile on our face that will last a long, long time. thank you. thank you. i just love that. i m totally crying by the way. what a sweetheart. his reaction, what was it like when brady came over, it
