Taking to social media, Biden wrote an emotional message about the moment she shared with a little boy battling cancer.

"Seeing Sean’s smile as he made his way to home plate — with the Philadelphia Phillies and Washington Nationals fans united in their cheers — is a moment I will never forget. His courage, and the courage of all children and families battling cancer, serve as an inspiration to us all.

"We all have a role to play in ending cancer as we know it. Thank you to MLB for calling on fans everywhere to support children, families, and caregivers during Childhood Cancer Awareness Month. #CancerMoonshot" - First Lady Dr. Jill Biden
