(Today.com) – It’s difficult to find a tougher trio of fighters this adorable.
Three young cancer survivors featured in a picture that went viral a couple of years ago recently reunited for a celebratory photo shoot, shared exclusively with TODAY.
Rheann Franklin, 8, Ainsley Peters, 6 and Rylie Hughey, 5, first met when they came together for a 2014 studio session with Oklahoma photographers Lora Scantling and Christy Goodger. At the time, the young girls were battling different types of cancer.
The photo of the three girls, each dressed in vintage-style gowns and embracing each other, touched hearts around the world.
The girls met again months later for another photo shoot after learning each was in remission.
Then, earlier this year, Scantling helped bring the families together, once again under happy circumstances.
“We decided to do it holding the original picture this year so everyone could see how much they have changed! All three girls are doing great and are still cancer free/in remission,” she told TODAY.com by email.
