Did you guys see this re: Taylor Swift?

There is a campaign that the students at my high school in SJ have started to grant a wish to one of their own.  Kevin is a senior who is currently battling leukemia for the second time.  His senior prom happens to fall on his birthday, and his sister is trying to get taylor swift to be his prom date.

I know it seems trite, but please believe me when I say that Kevin is truly the most humble, kind, and sweetest person I've ever met.  Even though he's been stuck with cancer twice, he NEVER complains and remains happy and positive daily, continuing to put others before himself.  I am crying happy tears to see how our entire school, community, and even strangers have all rallied to support Kevin.  Everyone has forgotten about their petty issues, and coming together in a way that teenagers don't often do.  There is a Facebook page for Kevin that has over 45,000 people supporting him in less than 48 hours.  Our students have taken it upon themselves to contact the local news and radio stations, and have been tweeting their Teamkevin message to everyone imaginable.  I am so proud of them for being so supportive and devoted to their peer that I just had to share :)

    It is nice to hear good news come from such a heartbreaking story.  And I'm so sorry about your dog :(  My guy is just a year and I can't even imagine.  ((hugs))

  • I think he is super cute (and not in a creepy older women sort of way), and I hope his wish comes true. I will share his page and I hope he gets his date. 
  • I hope his wish comes true! I remember that a few years ago on MTV there was a special where Taylor Swift went to the prom with a teenage boy. Ever since I saw that episode, I have really liked her. I hope that the information gets to her and she goes with him as well!

  • Thanks!! All of our local news and radio stations have picked up the story, and even Perez Hilton posted about it too.  There's no way Taylor hasn't seen it...I really hope she does something to acknowledge him.
