Ever since the Twilight Mom's of Middle Georgia transformed Abby Wilson's room into wolf pack territory, they have gone above and beyond to help this brave 13-year-old girl battling lung cancer.
They hosted a yard sale in early April to raise money to send Abby and her mom to Forks, Washington where the Twilight movies were filmed and now they are planning a walk to make Abby's dream to bring awareness come true.
"We got to know Abby and we just fell in love with her and wanted to do anything that we could do anything that we can do to support her," says Cindy Adrien, Chair of the Twilight Moms of Middle Georgia.
And so the community is coming together to organize a lung cancer awareness walk at Tattnall Square Academy on Saturday April 30th, but Abby's dream doesn't stop there. The Twilight Moms along with others are bringing Booboo Stewart, the youngest wolf in the pack of the Twilight series, to Abby's Dream Walk.
"My best friend Brittney is kind of jealous, but just to know that she'll be with me on that day of the walk is pretty cool and she'll get to meet him too," says Abby Wilson.
Not to mention Abby will get to walk around the track with Booboo Stewart, but the community will alo have a chance to meet him and take photos at the walk and at a meet and greet at Jocks and Jills.
"It's incredible because she says this whole community not just us Twilight Moms, but the community itself, coming behind her and saying 'you're amazing, you're a strong girl," says Adrien.
And Tina Wilson, Abby's mother, is grateful to see this dream come true for her daughter.
"They love her and I know I see that when she walks in the room and they see her and they're like 'oh Abby' and they hug her and they love on her and that means lot,' says Tina Wilson, Abby's mom.
And as for Abby, her room shows that she 'runs with wolves' but now she actually gets to walk with one.
Abby's Dream Walk takes place from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Tattnall Square Academy on Saturday April 30th.
The Meet and Greet will take place Friday April 29th at 6:30 p.m. at Jocks and Jills.
