Stephen Curry Surprised LA Teen Battling Cancer with Warriors Tickets

Stephen took a break from shooting his powerhouse three pointers against the Clippers Saturday (Go Warriors!!) to show love to his No. 1 fan sitting court side.

Thirteen-year-old Jaylen Winzer from South LA has been dreaming about meeting his idol for a while now.

Judging by the two championship rings he got to rock, it was worth the wait.

Jaylen, who suffers from a rare bone cancer, shared his story with ABC7 last year. Family friend Shirell Henderson used her foundation, BrittiCares International, to raise awareness of Jaylen’s condition.

The Foundation also decorated Jaylen’s room with all things Golden State before he returned home from the hospital.

Steph used FaceTime to invite the teen and his family to the game.

Soon after Jaylen and Steph were exchanging gifts. Jaylen got Steph a tee with the “I’M A WARRIOR FOR JAYLEN” in it and the Golden State logo, of course.

Steph gave Jaylen the jersey and sneakers he was playing in.

Let’s hope he aired out the jersey.

“I appreciate you coming,” Curry said.

“I appreciate you having me,” Jaylen replied.

Cover Songbirds Chloe & Halle Support Children Surviving Cancer Non-profit

If you have yet to be introduced to this sassy duo–Beyonce shouted praise upon last month–look no further than the video below where they recreate Queen Bey’s “Pretty Hurts.”

Now you can see and (more importantly) hear why Chloe and Halle Bailey have over 2 million hits and nearly 300,000 YouTube subscribers. They can sang. And they have been singing Lorde, Beyonce, One Direction, Rihanna…these sisters have pretty much hijacked any Z-100 tune and made it their own, which has Disney crowning these sissy songbirds Radio Disney’s Next Big Thing.

What’s currently on Chloe and Halle’s radar is their support of BrittiCares International, a non-profit that helps kids diagnosed with cancer cope and survive their treatment, which is up for a $5,000 grant from NBA’s Lakers Youth Foundation.  BrittiCares is one of four finalists that are eligible to not only receive 5Gs, but also two tickets to a future Lakers game where they will receive a ginormous ceremonial check. 

If selected BrittiCares hopes to use the money for kids dream bedroom makeovers for when they return home.
