A 12-year-old Minnesota girl has an extra reason to be grateful this Thanksgiving holiday.
Hailey Heiden reunited with her music therapist at Children’s Minnesota on Wednesday.
Hailey said creating music helped her fight during the darkest times of her cancer journey.
Story of resilience
The backstory:
Hailey had been in and out of the hospital since she was 7 years old with several conditions.
Her mother, Lisa Heiden, vividly remembers the moment in 2023 when she got the call from Hailey’s doctor at Children’s Minnesota on the day of her father-in-law’s funeral.
