This Is What Happened When Cancer "Messed With the Wrong Princesses"
In 2014, Rheann Franklin, Ainsley Peters, and Rylie Hughey, met for the first time but they already had something in common. Each child was battling cancer and the young girls found support in knowing that they weren't alone. The new friends posed for a powerful photo that quickly went viral because it was as heartbreaking as it was inspiring.
Since then, the girls who are now ages 9, 7, and 6 are thankfully cancer free, but one thing hasn't changed: their tradition of reuniting yearly to take photos in an effort to raise awareness for childhood cancer. "We try to do something a little bit different each year," Lora Scantling, the Oklahoma photographer who has captured their courageous photos, told Today. "[The girls] have a very special and amazing bond that is just incredible to watch! Every time we do a new updated picture the world goes crazy . . . You can see how they have changed and grown, and they look happier and even healthier each year."
At this year's shoot, the girls represented the fight against cancer with gold glitter and a gold ribbon. They also explained that while cancer is like a dragon in your body, chemo is the prince. But most importantly, Rylie clarified that, "Cancer messed with the wrong princesses."
