Episode Description
Similar to Batman, Parker McCollum received a distress signal and responded without hesitation. Recently, a woman named Alana opened about her 17-year-old son Kolton’s battle with an aggressive form of leukemia and equally aggressive treatments in Houston, Texas. In February, as Kolton was reaching the end of his current cycle, his mom bought tickets to the Parker McCollum show at Rodeo Houston to celebrate. Yet, a higher power had very different plans for the family. As it turns out, a donor was miraculously matched with Kolton, and a transplant was arranged, but unfortunately, it also meant that he would miss the Rodeo Huston concert. However, thankfully that higher power wasn’t finished. Unbeknownst to the teen, his mom had reached out to Parker McCollum’s team, explained the situation and simply asked for a signed t-shirt in lieu of attending the show. Well, the “Pretty Heart” singer would have none of that and instead decided to visit the teen personally. Needless to say, the singer’s kindness meant so much to Kolton and his mom. Not only that, since the private meet and greet, Colton has gone into a complete remission and will be heading home any day.
