ROBARDS, KY - Lots of folks are giving thumbs up to a 13-year-old Kentucky boy whose battling a rare form of cancer.

Lane Goodwin has gotten thumbs up from the UK football team, Fox News, Garth Brooks and Trisha Yearwood and many, many more. He is also hoping to get 100,000 likes on his Facebook page. He's getting very close.

"He has strength that you can't imagine ... He has a lot of faith and says he's ready to go with God."
