Delaney Krings: Hundreds join birthday parade for terminally ill 5-yr-old Wisconsin girl with just weeks to live
PEWAUKEE, WISCONSIN: The close-knit community of Pewaukee came together on Friday, December 16, to celebrate what may be the final birthday of a terminally ill five-year-old girl, who has brain cancer.
Delany Krings was tragically diagnosed with brain cancer on October 31 and was given six to eight weeks to live. "Brain cancer is terrible because if you look at a person as a puzzle, as a jigsaw puzzle, brain cancer is that one thing that takes one piece away every day, and sometimes it's really sneaky, other times it's really obvious. But it's, unfortunately, a pretty steady decline," said Heather, Krings' mother, as per KOCO.

After learning about Krings' diagnosis, Andrew Kreblin, with the Wisconsin Truck Takeover Enthusiasts, felt compelled to do something for her and floated the idea of organizing a special parade to celebrate what may be the last time they will be able to sing happy birthday for her. He said the news soon spread around their community and hundreds joined hands to organize the special celebration. "It's good to see the community coming together. Time of need right now for the family. It's real touching, I've got kids at home around the same age," Kreblin told KOCO.
