The 9-year-old friend of the program was diagnosed with rhabdomyosarcoma, a cancer made up of cells that normally develop into skeletal muscles, last summer. On March 30 of this year, Ryan beat the disease with his last chemo treatment in Lexington. Denzil Ware and C.J. Conrad were there to celebrate with him.

Tonight Ryan will run through the tunnel in Commonwealth Stadium with Ware, Conrad and the rest of the Wildcats behind him.
