Story summary

Kate Fink, a 41-year-old breast cancer survivor from Buffalo, New York, credits her recovery in part to Jon Avery, the hospital valet at the Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center. Avery, known for his joy and optimism despite seeing patients' struggles daily, provides emotional support by encouraging them with words like "You got this." His dedication has impacted not just Fink but many other patients too. So moved was Fink that she and her colleagues from West Herr Automotive Group raised money to get Avery tickets and field passes to a Buffalo Bills game as a gesture of appreciation.
