Holly reached out on social media to Audrey’s favorite football player, Eagles safety Anthony Harris, and asked if he would fly to Texas and take Audrey to the dance.
“It’s kind of far-fetched … It’s a big ask,” Holly said in an interview with ABC News. “I just asked if he would come—if he’d be willing to come … We would all do anything for our kids when we see them suffering.”
To her surprise and delight, Harris responded warmly and enthusiastically. “He said, ‘Not only will I come, I want to make sure she feels like a princess,’” she said.
