Kevin Mcguire was diagnosed with cancer at 13. He struggled through it all of high school while trying his best to have a normal life.He is now 18 years old and recently had a cancer relapse. While going though treatment he commented that he wouldn't find a date for the prom. His sister quickly jumped into action; she was determined to get Taylor Swift to go with him. After campaigning on facebook and getting a response from 90,000 people, Kevin finally got an answer from Taylor. She politely declined, but instead invited him to be her date to the ACM awards.
Love or hate Taylor Swift this was a very cool thing to do. It's always great when you see a celebrity use their power to help people. I also really respect Kevin's sister. It was a long shot trying to get Taylor to go, but she went for it because she cared so much for her brother. I hope Kevin has a great time at the awards. More so I hope for a quick remission so he is able to finish high school strong.
