Joshua Chambers -- whose family originates from Perrysburg, Ohio -- is one of Ohio State's biggest fans.
He's in remission after a battle with lymphoblastic leukemia. During his treatment, he kept in touch with several members of the Buckeyes' football team and their relationship is still growing strong today.
Last season, the Chambers had plans to watch the Michigan State game at home, but Joshua spiked a fever and had to be admitted to the hospital. While there, he made multiple GameDay signs and sent pictures to his favorite players -- Joshua Perry and Ezekiel Elliott to be exact.
On Tuesday night, Jeremy, Joshua's father, tweeted a picture of one of the GameDay signs he made last year. After getting retweeted by Kirk Herbstreit and some others on Twitter, the photo went berzerk on social media, but the message from Joshua and his father was just as simple as it was last year: "If Joshua can still beat cancer, you can still beat Michigan State."
The bond Joshua has made with linebacker Joshua Perry is an especially touching one. After seeing his GameDay sign after the Michigan State game last season, Perry gave Chambers a call when he got on the bus after the game. The two still keep in touch, talking about once a month or so. They even catch up via FaceTime every once in a while, including just this past Thursday before OSU's showdown with Michigan State.
"I know what we've done for him, but I don't think he realizes what he's done for some of us on the team," Perry said. "We've definitely made a bond."
The Chambers got to see their beloved Buckeyes play last season. Head coach Urban Meyer invited the entire family to be his guest when Ohio State took on Indiana. So they made the trek from Florida to Columbus, and it was everything they hoped it would be.
Joshua is using the large social media following from the "Be Brave Foundation" his parents started. He recently ran 35 laps around a track for a school fundraiser, just 24 hours after a chemo treatment. As if that's not impressive enough, he raised nearly 10 percent of the school's fundraising goal. All on his own.
Keep being brave, Joshua. You're an inspiration.
