A devoted fan from Utah, facing the challenges of cancer, recently shared a poignant health update, expressing a heartfelt desire to meet the iconic singer before their time runs out. True to her compassionate nature, Dolly went above and beyond, pulling strings and turning this fan's dream into a reality.
From Radar Online:
LeGrand “LG” Gold, of Orem, Utah, was recently given heartbreaking news about his health, but thanks to the iconic singer, the Dolly super fan was able to cross off a very special bucket list item, RadarOnline.com has learned.
For the past two years, Gold has been battling colon cancer. Three weeks ago, his doctors informed him of a devastating update on his fight.
"The scans showed the cancer spreading and getting outside of my liver, and so they said the chemo is not working anymore, the radiation is not working anymore," Gold told local news KSLTV.
"They just sent me home and said be with your family."
Gold recalled writing down a bucket list of 10 things he wanted to accomplish before he died.
"One of them was ‘meet Dolly Parton,'" Gold said. "I thought, ‘Well, it’s never going to happen."
Unbeknownst to him, Parton was pulling strings to make sure his dying wish came true.
On Friday morning, Gold's phone rang. The Tennessee native recognized the unknown number's area code from his home state. Upon answering, he quickly realized the familiar voice on the other end.
"Well, I’m just happy to know I have a fan that devoted," Parton said as Gold laid stunned in bed.
"Hey LG, it’s Dolly B. I’ve heard you’ve been a fan of mine for many years, and I just wanted to thank you for that."
