ERIC BERRY
On Nov. 22, 2014, Chiefs Safety Eric Berry was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s Lymphoma, a cancer developed in the white blood cells. Through Berry’s mental and physical toughness, and support from his family and team, he was announced cancer free within seven months and returned to the field just nine months after his initial diagnosis. His remarkable return earned him the AP Comeback Player of the Year Award following the 2015 season. Berry’s journey and efforts to raise awareness of Hodgkin’s Lymphoma stand as a monument of hope and strength for others experiencing hard times.
