September 10, 2016 - Ryan Moore has been fighting Leukemia, and has been in Memphis, Tn. receiving treatments. When Center Police officers learned of Moore's return to Shelby County, they had the brilliant idea to give the young man a welcome home.
According to a Facebook post made by the family, a doctor who has been treating Ryan says the percentage of Leukemia is zero and he is cancer free at this time.
Ryan's mother, Sheri Moore, stated, "Ryan will still undergo treatment for 2 1/2 years to keep it from coming back but right now this very second our baby is cancer free!!! Ryan is proof of the amazing power of God!!!"
As Moore and his family were entering the Center city limits, they met up with several police officers at McAdams Propane where Moore and his mother got to ride in a police car.
The Moore Motorcade, made up of a series of Center police vehicles and the Moore's car, began traveling Hurst Street at around 10:25pm south to San Augustine Street, where they turned heading toward the square. Ryan was reportedly grinning all the way as lights flashed and sirens sounded announcing his return.
Shelby County Today was on the square as the cars entered the square and captured the moment as Ryan traveled past the historic courthouse with his escort.
The line of cars came to a halt at Shady Oaks where Ryan and his mother disembarked the police car so he and his family could continue the final stretch of roadway home. Following the tiring journey all the way from Memphis, the family was undoubtedly energized for the final leg of their journey home.
