The friends and family of a little girl who suffers from a rare brain and spinal cord cancer gathered in Chanhassen Sunday to benefit her, according to Fox9.
2-year-old Kirra O'Connor was diagnosed with a cancer called PNET July 23, according to WCCO.
Friends and family held a silent auction at the Chanhassen American Legion to raise money for Kirra's medical costs.
Kirra was able to get a day pass from her doctors to attend the event, but had to wear a mask because she has a very weak immune system. She is currently in her fourth round of chemotherapy.
