Dozens of people gathered outside the home of a local teenager battling cancer Monday night to bring an event he always wanted to attend straight to his front door.

Darren Richardson, 17, has terminal bone cancer. He was planning on doing some traveling before he passed. He always dreamed of attending a ginger festival, which are usually held out of state.

Due to the rapid progression of his cancer, his doctors said he could no longer risk traveling or getting on a plane.

Friends and family came together and held a small, local ginger festival for Darren right in his front yard.
