Blazers' Lillard, McCollum visit cancer patient

With some help from a friend and the Portland Trail Blazers, a fan battling cancer was able to meet two of his favorite players, Damian Lillard and C.J. McCollum, on Tuesday.

Graham Barey, who's friends with the fan, shared a photo from the visit on Instagram and detailed how it all came together.

Ok. Long post. My homie V has been sick for a long time with cancer. It has been brutal. But through it all he has remained an amazing person, the same person I have admired and respected for 15 years. He and his family are so close to my heart I would do anything for them. I managed, with help from @trillblazin to reach out to the @trailblazers and tell them about V's story. They responded in LESS THAN A WEEK and visited him today with @damianlillard and @3jmccollum his favorite players. My god I have never had more respect and pride in an organization than I have for the Blazers and these players. God bless them all and THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART. I LOVE THE PORTLAND TRAILBLAZERS.
