Blow The Whistle We 1 Month Cancer Free!" Thomas wrote on Instagram.

"This. Is. Beautiful," rapper Common wrote.

"MUSIC + LOVE = CANCER FREE......Much love to @Kennyclutch415 for sharing this beautiful moment with lil' man," Christopher KID Reid tweeted.

"Kenny Thomas! I don't know you but I love you," wrote Alyssa Milano.
