An Illinois second grader was welcomed home Saturday by his entire community – police escort included – with a raucous standing ovation after he beat blood cancer.
Video of the heartwarming moment when Judah Collins, now cancer-free, returned home to a bustling cul de sac was shared by the Chatham Police Department on Facebook.
The family of five – mom, dad, two daughters and Judah – are seen rolling up in their SUV to the excited crowd, who was clapping, cheering, holding signs and blowing into noisemakers to celebrate Judah’s healthy return.
The video also shows a row of at least five police cars flashing their lights with officers standing outside to greet Judah.
Once out of the family car, Judah walked over to say hug to his friends, a second video posted by Chatham police showed.
