At the age of 6, Rebekah was diagnosed with myelodysplastic syndrome, a type of cancer in which the bone marrow doesn't produce enough healthy blood cells. Sadly, Rebekah's treatment has so far failed to put her in remission. Now, four years later, her older siblings are stepping in to do whatever they can to make sure the time she has left is filled with incredible memories.
AJ is Rebekah's 15-year-old brother. The South Dakota teen was gearing for his very first high school dance in celebration of Valentine's Day. But instead of taking a fellow classmate to the formal like many students dream of doing, AJ revealed to his parents of his incredible plan. AJ wanted to bring Rebekah to the dance for the most beautiful and yet heartbreaking reason. Rebekah is most likely not going to be able to experience a date, a dance, or even high school for that matter — and so AJ wanted to give her this experience. Using the family motto of "Unbroken, brave and blessed" on a big poster, AJ asked his little sister to the big dance. She said yes 🙂
Before heading off to the dance, Rebekah's entire family was able to give her an unforgettable day of primping, pampering, and posing for photos. Watch the tear-jerking video below to meet this remarkable family, and please SHARE this with your friends on Facebook.
