Hudson told Mashable that he relied on social media for support when he was feeling alone in his illness. \n\"I realized that there were thousands of young adults living with cancer who are just like me,\" he said. \"So I turned to social media to reach out to those who I couldn't physically be there to help. If I could inspire one person to live their life to the fullest, then I accomplished what I set out to do.\"\n\n\nHarry Hudson\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\"June 21st the day everything changed.....
