This Neighbourhood Threw A Socially Distanced Parade For Young Girl Who Finished Chemotherapy

The footage will make you cry

In news that is sure to brighten your day, a video showing a neighbourhood throwing a young girl a socially distanced welcome-home parade after she finished chemotherapy has gone viral. It’s truly special. 

Actor John Krasinski retweeted the moment, asking followers for some “#SomeGoodNews” amid the coronavirus pandemic. A mother named April Danz responded, writing: “#SomeGoodNews my daughter, Coco, finished her final [chemotherapy] treatment yesterday and our friends had a surprise social distancing welcome home parade for her.”

In the now-viral clip you can see car after car lining the street, with Coco’s neighbours cheering for her and holding up handmade signs as Fight Song plays in the background. Coco is visibly moved by the parade, and to be honest so are we. 

Krasinski replied, “Well, this is one of the greatest things I’ve seen. Welcome home, Coco!!” 

While we all practise social distancing and isolation, it’s stories like this that really bring a smile to our faces! Well done, Coco!
