Ellen DeGeneres Helps Boy With Brain Cancer
Ellen Gives This Dancing Boy With Brain Cancer the Surprise(s) of His Life!
Ellen DeGeneres knows just what to do to get our attention. On her show today, she managed to combine a cute kid, killer dance moves, and a tear-jerking three-tissue story all in one segment thanks to 6-year-old Braylon Beam. The kindergartner, who was diagnosed with brain cancer in February, and his parents Jesse and Meredith keep a positive attitude at his weekly chemo treatments by turning his hospital room into a dance party. The boy, who learned his dance moves — even twerking! — from his dad, has performed impromptu routines of "Uptown Funk," "Rapper's Delight," and "The Harlem Shake."
Still, the Beam family has struggled to make ends meet. They've moved into Jesse's parents's home because of staggering medical bills, and Meredith crashed the family's car while avoiding a deer in the road. Hear the family's incredible story, and trust us: you have to see for yourself what Ellen does to show her support!
