An Iowa woman surprised her sister battling cancer with a trip to watch the Grammys.
Stephanie Dart said it's a lifelong dream come true for her and her sister, Lynnette Richey, who has been battling breast cancer for 10 years, to watch the Grammys live, so they were ecstatic when she won the tickets through a radio station.
"It's just so amazing to see everything live, and it's just unbelievable," said Dart. "I wrote (to the radio station), but I said I didn?t deserve to go. I wrote in that my sister actually deserved to go."
Richey was first diagnosed in 2003, but the cancer came back. She said she is fighting it for the fifth time.
"I started a different chemo. I just had my third chemo treatment actually on Friday," said Richey.
Neither the cancer nor the chemotherapy could bring Richey down while she and her sister got dolled up for one of the biggest nights of their lives.
"I'm ecstatic. I'm shaking. I'm just excited to be here," said Richey.
"To think that I can actually say I was here with my sister at the Grammys in L.A. it is, it's beyond words. It's beyond excitement. It's just one of the things that we will never, ever, ever forget in our lives," said Dart.
The sisters said attending the event was on each of their bucket lists, but it was a bonus to see some of their favorite stars.
"By far, the performance of Miranda Lambert and Dierks Bently. Just to see that live, it was pretty cool," said Richey.
