In Memory of an Angel, Miranda Zeigler

Miranda celebrates on New Year's Eve, 2007.

Miranda Kaye Zeigler had aspirations.

Maybe she would be a teacher, because loved helping kids. Or maybe she would be a veterinarian, because she wanted to help animals. But when Miranda was diagnosed with cancer she talked about doing something else.

Hollywood Dances For A Cure

Every singer has the moment, one instance in which they believe they can be something more than they are.

Kait Weston’s moment came two years ago when a woman in the audience broke down crying as she sang inside of a New York café.

“That was my moment of inspiration when I realized I could connect with people,” Kait said. “I could tell there was some stress in her life, and it felt good to take her away from that.”

That moment is partly why Kait bought a one-way ticket to Los Angeles two years ago. It’s partly why when she told her mom she’d be back in two weeks, she never returned. It’s partly why she cans for THON on Hollywood Boulevard while singing. It’s partly why she’ll be performing at Penn State’s THON for a second year in a row in less than two weeks.
