I had a very magical day! I spent it with an amazing, strong girl named Jenni.

Jenni is battling her third diagnosis with cancer. She was first diagnosed when she was nine weeks old, then again in her senior year of high school and now again at 21 years old.

Her lifelong wish has been to meet Tom Hanks! The Dream Foundation granted her wish! During her stay in Los Angeles, I spent the day with her and we got our hair and make up done, which was another one of her wishes!

She is so strong and has such a positive attitude, which I think is so important when your life is being challenged. She shared her story with me and I can relate due to my dad passing of cancer. 

After we spent the day together, we went to a charity event where we auctioned off items to help raise money for The Dream Foundation. My step brother Brandon and his fiance Leah performed there! They are in a band together and signed by Warner Brothers Records.

I feel so lucky to have been touched by Jenni’s spirit. I have learned from her.

    I am just touched! This is sooo sweet! Jenni is a gorgeous girl and very strong for all she has been through! I am just sooo pleased to see that you are apart of this foundation.

Always be you and NEVER change!

    why u always wear that belt? to make your stomach smaller? i think u should wear somethin that is worn inside your shirt, not somwhere that everybody can see..and why is your mother like to pose with her big mouth open? isnt she tired of that? anyways, for the first time in history of your nonsense life, u made something that makes sense! good for u!

    Where are your pictures with Jenni? The title of the post doesn’t match with the supporting pictures. I expected to see pictures of you with Jenni having a good time doing the things you mentioned since its a blog about her and not Kathy Griffin who appears here more than Jenni does????
