Andy has been battling a rare form of cancer since Christmas 2013, and has undergone 40 chemotherapy treatments, 25 radiations, two bone marrow transplants and two rounds of majoy surgery.In his appeal to David on Ellen DeGeneres' website, he said: "It has been a dream of mine to meet David Beckham ever since I became a soccer fan while serving a mission for my church in Mexico in 2003… around the time he signed for Real Madrid."I know it's a long shot, but I think if everyone peppers FB with this post, along with Ellen's page we may be able to make it happen. "He added: "I know it's 100 per cent selfish, and it may not make a lot of sense to a lot of people, but he has been a big role model for me in the short time I've been following him. Meeting him would be the icing on the cake to the example he's inadvertently been in my life."
