Kadence let the team of physicians know he only cared about one thing in September…getting the girl to the dance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He wanted something extra special, as unique as Mary. KC Wheel was there to make the space happen and Uncle Tim McCray took amazing photos to capture the moment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mary has been his best friend, biggest supporter, motivator, partner in all things to keep Kadence as healthy and happy as he can be. Mary gives Kadence comfort, joy, tough love when needed to push him to keep the faith and fight. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A great group of friends joined them at Loose Park for the group photos. Mikey, Delaney, Maleke, Jaylina, Darian, Johnas, Isadora, and Chloe. I am so thankful for a group of teens that care so much about each other’s well being. They made sure the night was fun and safe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
