Consider this your daily Good Egg™ alert, courtesy of NRL baller Trent Hodkinson.
In a pretty damn heart-warming display, the Newcastle Knights gun last night escorted a young fan with terminal cancer to her high school formal.
Kurri Kurri High student Hannah, a mad-as Knights fan, is battling Ewing’s sarcoma. So severe is her diagnosis that the school reportedly brought the formal forward by several months.
Thankfully, Hodkinson – who volunteers through his Tren7’s Kicks For Kids initiative – was on deck to accompany her.
A very cute Instagram story update from the man himself shows the pair having a great time on the way:
A Knights fan account detailed the rest of the eve, posting a shot of the pair cutting a ceremonial cake, and generally being very, very lovely.
And we are still crying over here. God bless you Hannah! Well done Kurri Kurri High School for bringing the formal forward. pic.twitter.com/wNCK5a62V9

Hannah looks so beautiful yet as pointed out is in so much pain. Life can be so cruel but moments like these inspire. Rugby League ?? pic.twitter.com/jGCTA4SOFG

Hodkinson and Hannah have a long-running relationship, and an Instagram post shows the pair hanging out earlier in her treatment. He ended up dedicating his performance in the club’s first home game of the 2016 season to the battler.
All the best to both of these champs.
