"I had no idea that the cheer and football team had planned for every football player to give me an orange rose (the color for leukemia)," she wrote.

"I was shocked, overwhelmed and overall speechless. I can't thank you enough to both teams for making my first game one to remember and making me cry tears of joy. I love Foothill High School."
