Paul Henderson, Canadian hockey icon,  has been battling cancer for the past four years.

But things are looking up.

Not only has his tumour shrunk, but he also received the Order of Canada last week. In his meeting with Prime Minister Harper to receive the award, he spoke about his cancer treatment:

“After seven months of this clinical trial that she was instrumental in getting me into, the tumour in my stomach is now the size of the end of my finger, and I’ve put 16 of those pounds back on and I am doing well,” he said, calling the Order of Canada reception, “simply the icing on the cake” of his life as a proud Canadian.

We couldn’t be more pleased for him – as a leader, a role-model, and encourager to many, his legacy extends well beyond the hockey arena, although he certainly has a strong influence there as well!
