Retired Australian Rugby League Star Grants Dying Fan's Last Wish

What a wonderful gesture.

Retired Australian rugby league star Beau Ryan granted the wish of a dying fan as he drove two hours to see her on her deathbed after a Facebook status went viral and the 31 year old answered the call.

An Australian rugby league fan with terminal cancer was given just four hours to live by her doctors. Australian women's rugby sevens player Mahalia Murphy, friends with the girl, posted on Facebook asking for either South Sydney Rabbitohs' star Greg Inglis or retired star Ryan to come and visit her as her dying wish.

The status was quickly shared 211 people and the sharing worked as Ryan saw it and replied to say he was on his way. Two hours after the post the former winger was at the hospital to meet the fan.


It was an incredibly classy thing for Ryan to do and travel the two hours to visit his fan.
