Rosie McKenna, 6, has been battling a rare form of brain cancer since she was 11 months old. She's gone through 64 rounds of chemotherapy, four surgeries, and met with countless doctors.
The Philadelphia Phillies surprised a little girl who has brain cancer with a room makeover in Havertown on Thursday.
She and her two sisters, Daniella, 11, and Elizabeth, 7, are also big Phillies fans. While they were at school, volunteers from the Phillies took over their home and did a complete makeover of the room the three share. They painted the walls and doors in Phillies colors and decorated the ceiling with baseball cards. They added a large hat rack with brand-new Phillies hats, and hung up large banners and posters.
"I was so surprised, I couldn't believe everything they got done today," said Julia Defruscio, their mother.
