My Daughtry - Home video for Boey

I have a young 8 year old friend named Jenessa but we call her Boey. On January 28th, 2006 Boey was diagnosed with a very rare childhood cancer called rhabdomyosarcoma. The doctors said her prognosis was a 70% survival rate with this type of aggressive cancer. After a very long fight she had beaten it, or so we thought. The cancer has returned, possibly worse than before. I am very close to this family so to see her and them hurting once again is difficult. Her website is www.jenessabyers.com where you can read about her story and the various strides she and her family are making in the fight against childhood cancer. I wanted to make a video of one of her favorite songs to show her as she prepared for a long night of scans and chemo. Not having time to perfect it and fighting back a flood of emotions, I threw this together for my friend Bo-bo. Hope you like it. This is Home by Daughtry.
