BROADCAST TRANSCRIPT
“Oh, my goodness, that was fabulous. It made my day, especially being my last day.”
That was Evette O’Connor, a cancer patient at Tallahassee Memorial Healthcare. That bell marks the end of her chemo treatment.
FAMU Cheerleaders made the trip from Southwest Tallahassee to Northeast to show their support.
“I think it’s wonderful that the girls took the time out of their busy schedules with school and their cheering practices to take time for those of us here getting treatment. ”
O’Connor had been battling non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma.
“I can’t believe I’ve done this. It’s been a challenge. Not only with cheerleaders coming it was awesome, but also the treatment here has been absolutely amazing.”
