A 12-year-old Chicago girl who may be nearing the end of her battle with cancer had another memorable moment over the weekend when she threw the first pitch at the Chicago White Sox game.
Emily Beazley threw out her honorary pre-game pitch to White Sox Manager Robin Ventura to much applause before the White Sox took on the Cincinnati Reds Sunday.
Emily for years has been battling a type of non-Hodgkin lymphoma that's so aggressive doctors last month told the family there was nothing more they could do. Treatment was stopped.
Just two weeks ago, Emily was granted one of her final big wishes—to talk to her favorite singer Taylor Swift.
After countless attempts to get her attention on social media, the Grammy Award-winning superstar made a call to Beazley, the girl's mother confirmed to NBC Chicago.
"The smile on my daughter [is one] I have not seen in a very, very long time," Nadia Beazley said. "I could cry."
Beazley supporters have also decorated the family’s neighborhood with purple and green colors and a Chicago block was named in her honor.
