There are not too many situations that can make you cry while putting a smile on your face, but this video, shot at the Amplatz Children's Hospital in Minnesota, will do just that.
Patients and staff members of Unit 5 got together to sing along to Sara Bareille’s hit song, Brave.
The video has over 730,000 hits on YouTube and received some very touching comments from past patients, parents who lost loved ones and other people who were just simply filled with joy.
“Having lost a son to Leukemia, I had some moments in this video, so I watched it again. That's what we do. Thank you to all of the Doctors and the Oncology nurses that make it their job to erase the sadness around this disease. Wonderful video.”
“Please say hi to Dr. Wagner for me! I am 10 years post stem cell transplant, (I'm 20 years old) he has given me the chance to live a happy and healthy life! I'm stronger than I've ever been before and I know those kids are true fighters! STAY STRONG AND BE BRAVE! <3”
