When doctors told Katelyn Norman that she wasn’t well enough to go to prom, her Tennessee community decided to bring the gala to her.
An aggressive and fatal bone cancer has weakened Katelyn’s body, but it hasn’t kept the 14-year-old from fulfilling her bucket list, WATE reported. Going to prom was at the very top of her list, so when her physicians said she was too sick to leave her hospital bed, thousands of supporters devised a way for her to still celebrate the monumental moment.
“She can either have a pity party, or you’re gonna live life,” Katelyn’s mom told WATE. “[We’re] just trying to fulfill what she wants to do. It’s not much, but it’s something to her.”
