Rain himself didn’t publicize the gesture greatly, and its unclear how the images made it to Reddit, but he no doubt made the young fan very happy even as he suffers through cancer.
Other fans praised rain for the touching story. One Redditor said:
Wow, genuinely really cool moment. Props to Rain for stepping up without having to and being a standup guy. Hopefully this gets a little more attention and other pros from the scene can do more community work. Huge part about this becoming a more legitimate sport is community interaction and support.
