Southwest Airlines Crew Honors 2-Year-Old Cancer Survivor with Heartfelt Tribute
A Southwest Airlines crew paid a touching tribute to a 2-year-old passenger named Cruz, who was recently declared cancer-free after battling stage 4 neuroblastoma. Cruz and his family had been traveling between San Diego and New York for his treatments. On his final flight home, the crew made a special announcement celebrating his bravery and recovery, which was met with applause from fellow passengers. The crew also collected notes of encouragement from passengers, which were given to Cruz as a keepsake. Neuroblastoma is a common cancer in young children, and Cruz's recovery marks a significant milestone for his family.
