Whoever said “Don’t meet your heroes” is either full of bull or never met Eric Montross.
You can see in the photo above that I got just that chance back in 2019. Meeting him was the perfect capper of a perfect day during my own cancer treatment. More on that in a bit.
Like most everyone else, I had no idea Montross’ cancer was that bad. I was worried when the announcement came in March, but when he appeared in the video during Live Action, he looked good and there was no reason to feel overly concerned.
