A 7th grader asked a special date to the homecoming dance – nine years after her parents were told she may not survive after horrific car crash. Madyson Watts was involved in a smash while travelling in a pick-up truck that was left unrecognisable by the accident. She was left fighting for her life, with doctors preparing her parents for the worst. But despite the odds and severe brain and spinal injuries, Madyson went on to make a miraculous recovery – learning to walk again. Ever since she hasn’t let it stop her from living life to the full. So when homecoming dance was around the corner, classmate Dustin Corbin decided he wanted to invite Madyson to the dance and began preparing a special way to ‘propose’. With the help of his mom Vanessa, who also enlisted the help of Madyson’s mom Sonya, they planned a surprise for Madyson after one of the school’s football games. Dustin held aloft a placard which read: “Out of all the fish in the sea…I choose you to go Homecoming with.” As Dustin held it aloft, Madyson read it before the penny dropped that she was going to Homecoming. She could barely hide her delight as she leapt and screamed for joy.
