Young Cancer Patient Gets Special Holiday Treat
PHILADELPHIA (CBS) - A seven-year-old cancer patient from Chester County will have a special Thanksgiving this year thanks to an entrepreneur who is unveiling her new cupcake decorating parties in the Philadelphia suburbs.
Maki Evans of Cupcakes Gourmet knows what it's like to wonder whether your child has cancer. She was lucky. It was only a scare for her young daughter but today she will host a party for seven-year-old Halle Middleton of Wayne, who just completed a year and a half of treatment for brain cancer.
Evans says the second grader will be joined by her family and friends for a celebration, "It just brings me to tears just to think that a little girl this young could go through this type of cancer and has a really great outlook in life."
Evans says the first two weeks of her daughter's life were uncertain because doctors suspected a rare eye cancer, but she says it cleared up. She marked her first birthday by baking more than 100 cupcakes and then her business was born.
