A Virginia mom who shared the stage with Garth Brooks and beat cancer twice just found out her 3-year-old daughter has cancer.
Danielle Moreland was diagnosed with Stage 3 Hodgkin lymphoma on her 19th birthday. A friend had reached out to country music station K95 with Danielle’s story in 2016.
“Leading up to the show, we held a contest for Garth tickets that we called K95 Prizefighter where folks could submit the story of someone they knew that was fighting adversity,” K95 radio host Billy D said. “Her friend told us that Danielle had suffered through and beaten Hodgkin lymphoma. During our meet and greet with Garth and Trisha [Yearwood, Brooks’ wife], Danielle shared even more that we didn’t know; she was actually supposed to try out for ‘The Voice’ on the day she was diagnosed and never got a chance to sing.”
“We went in and we met Garth and Trisha and sat down with him and it was like talking to my neighbors, like parents, so casual, they were the nicest, sweetest people,” Moreland said.
