Chicago Cubs star Patrick Wisdom invited leukemia survivor 13-year-old Aaliyah Safstrom to the Advocate Children's Hospital prom in a recorded video.It signifies the end of the long, painful chemotherapy treatments. Aaliyah Safstrom, 13, waited more than two years for this day after being diagnosed with leukemia in February of 2021. Her family even rented a limo for the ride to the hospital.
"This is really exciting, and just being able to turn over a new chapter and see what's in store for her moving forward," said Sarah Safstrom, Aaliyah's mother. "Feels like the weight coming off the shoulders. Still got a couple things to do, but seeing her ring the bell was special," said Brian Safstrom, Aaliyah's father.
"When we see them smiling on the other side, that's why we do what we do," said Kevynne Dudek with Advocate Children's Hospital.
