In 2009, then eight year-old Vanessa Riddle was diagnosed with stage 4 Neuroblastoma, a rare and aggressive form of childhood cancer. Vanessa, a UK resident, has bravely battled the disease for over three years. Now, her desire for Christmas is to reach 100,000 followers by the end of the year. Many Tweeters and celebrities are joining together to help make Vanessa’s wish come true.
Eric Bolling, co-host of Fox News’ The Five, was instrumental in getting Vanessa over 50,000 followers and has now encouraged her to get over the 100,000 mark.
@vanessariddle I say we go for 100,000 by year-end… You game? 🙂
