Anya Ottley, a 6-year-old girl, went to a friend's party and was extremely exhausted when she returned home. While Anya was resting, her mom and dad suddenly saw a large lump bulging out of her abdomen. Realizing that this was abnormal, they immediately took her to the family doctor.

Tests showed that Anya had a large tumor growing inside her stomach. The tumor was as big as a melon. In November 2017, Anya had to have an operation requiring the removal of her left kidney. Although the young girl was shocked by the sudden emergency, she did not let it affect her mind.

Anya's mother, Kathryn, told a reported that Anya had asked her if she was going to survive the surgery. Anya then added that the treatments were not that bad and mentioned that many children in the hospital were terribly ill. Anya has continued to fight the odds. Although she had to have her head shaved, she does not wear a wig. But she did have her hair cut for the purpose of donating it to other sick children.

Anya has had to endure 28 treatments. Nevertheless, the young girl still had enough energy to entertain wedding guests by singing the popular "Fight Song" by Rachel Platten. Aidan, her uncle, shared the video on Facebook and YouTube. More than one million viewers have watched the video. Kathryn told Anya she was going to host a ring-the-bell party for her when she was finished with the treatments. Anya told Kathryn she planned to sing "Fight Song" at the party. The wedding reception was simply a rehearsal.

At the reception, Anya put on a pretty blue dress and stood in front of the dance floor with her feet slightly apart. She held the microphone and sang a soulful rendition of the song. She even managed to flex her arm when she sang, "This is my fight song!" People began to chant her name screaming, "Anya, Anya, Anya!"

A few ladies sitting behind Anya were smiling. One of the ladies was her mother Kathryn. The women were so moved that they started to cry. As the song came to an end, Kathryn and a few other wedding guests stood behind Anya to show their support. Every person is hoping and praying that Anya is able to continue her fight. 

What a heart touching story of this little brave girl! Feel free to reflect on this moving story and the inspiring video and pass it along to others!
