Khameyea Jennings is a teen who is suffering from liver cancer, and after hearing her story, the Jacksonville Jaguars wanted to make her prom night one to remember.
That's why defensive tackle Sen'Derrick Marks decided to ask her to prom (or "prompose", as the kids are calling it these days) last week, an offer which she was thrilled to accept. While she had planned on going with her sister, she said that she simply couldn't turn down the proposal: "I know nothing about sports, but I like him".
He picked her up for the night in his Lamborghini, and the two arrived at the event in style as he drove her from the hospital where she has been receiving treatment to the venue.
