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.
