A teen from the west suburbs who's fighting a rare form of cancer gave up his Make-A-Wish opportunity to help another child he met at the hospital. He's getting a surprise meet-and-greet with country singer Luke Bryan at his concert Sunday.

The teen spent several weeks in the hospital this summer. The illness is serious enough that the Make-A-Wish organization offered to grant a wish for him. However, Stevenson turned it down, offering it instead to another kid in the pediatric cancer ward. The illness has taken a toll on Stevenson's family. His father suffers from the same genetic illness. They are proud of him, but not surprised at the decision."That's just his nature. He's always a very good person," Patrick's mother, Alice Stevenson, said. "A good teammate. He always thinks of others. As a mom, I can't ask for more."
