A community in Chatham, Illinois, came together to celebrate a second-grader beating cancer.

Judah Collins was diagnosed with leukemia in January 2023 and underwent chemotherapy for weeks. However, he relapsed. Happily, a second treatment involving a bone marrow transplant from his mother was successful.

When Judah returned home from the hospital, his neighbors and the local police department turned out in droves to give him a heartfelt welcome following his cancer-free diagnosis.

Watch the happy homecoming parade in the video above.
