Nine-year-old Beckett Wyatt has been battling stage IV Ewing sarcoma since last June, and Kaelyn Brakefield wanted to be sure he got a chance to go to prom.
“I wanted to take Beckett because what if he never gets to?” the teen told WRIC news. “I want him to be able to do the things I got to do.”
She knew about Wyatt’s cancer story because he’s a classmate of her younger sister’s. “I’ve seen him run around and dance with kids he’s never met before,” said Brakefield. “I can just imagine how much fun he will have with the older kids."
