Teen Upbeat As She Fights Cancer, Wishes For Meeting With A Pop Star
DENVER (CBS4) - Delaney Clements has battled cancer for five years and somehow she still finds ways to bring light to those around her.
The 13-year-old is a big fan of Taylor Swift and it's her dream spend time with the singer.
A new hashtag that's trending on social media -- #DelaneyMeetTaylor -- centers around Clements' wish.
Clements will begin a five day treatment of radiation on Friday in Denver and then head back to her hometown of Grand Junction and begin hospice care.
Despite the grim outlook, she's a ray of sunshine.
"I believe I got cancer because I've heard the saying that God gives his hardest battles to his strongest soldiers, and I honestly believe that I am one of his strongest soldiers, so he chose me," she said in a video posted online.
Clements and some friends recently put together a video to Swift's song "Shake It Off" in hopes of catching the pop star's attention.
