Count former President Bill Clinton as the latest person to show support for Pitt star running back James Conner, who was diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma last week.

Clinton was in Pittsburgh on Friday for a fundraiser for his wife Hillary’s presidential campaign when Pitt student Jesse Irwin asked the former president if he would sign a card for Conner.

Clinton obliged, writing, “James, hang in there, it’s a contest you can win!”

Upon receving the card, Conner, the 2014 ACC Player of the Year, posted a picture of it on Twitter with a caption that read: “Thank you @billclinton !!”
