After being diagnosed with leukemia this past May, the boy from Austintown, Ohio, started chemo treatments almost immediately at University Hospital in Cleveland. He drew strength from the support of his family, friends and community who rallied behind him throughout his fight.

Over the last six months, Cam's treatments have gone so well that his family decided to celebrate.

With one final treatment to go, the Jaros' made the hour-long trek to Cleveland for a totally different reason: To watch the Cleveland Cavaliers play.

Cam made a special sign he'd hoped would be featured on the jumbotron at some point in the night. It read: "My last chemo is Thursday. I'm here to celebrate. #CamStrong." (Screengrab: Cameron Jaros/via Faithit.com)

To his delight, the cameraman found Cam and zoomed in on him for the big screen. As he held his poster proudly, fans couldn't help themselves from joining in a standing ovation for this brave little boy.

Cavaliers players even joined in, including LeBron James, who paused his pregame warmups to applaud Cam in his fight against cancer.
