Tom Brady left a voice message for teen with cancer who couldn’t attend Super Bowl, family says

The family of an Ashland teen who has cancer says the 18-year-old got a special message from Patriots quarterback Tom Brady this week after he couldn’t attend the Super Bowl due to his health.

Jake Silver’s mom shared on Facebook that her son, who was diagnosed with osteosarcoma three years ago, got a voice message from the Super Bowl champion on Wednesday morning.

In an interview with WCVB from Atlanta before the game, the 18-year-old said that if the Patriots won, he’d buy Brady, who is his favorite player, lunch.

Hey #TomBrady, Jake Silver gave us a message for you about the game, and he wants to buy you lunch!
