Cancer Took Her Hair. Peyton Manning Gave Her the Strength to Walk

 Cancer Took Her Hair. Peyton Manning Gave Her the Strength to Walk Down the Aisle Without It

Lily and Ben were the kind of couple that made love look easy.
They met at a Colts game in 2009—both wearing #18 jerseys, both screaming like kids when Peyton Manning threw a touchdown.
He bought her a hot dog.
She gave him her number.
And the rest? History.
For ten years, they built a life on loyalty, laughter, and late-night football.
Then came the diagnosis.
Stage 3 lymphoma.
Lily cried not just for her health—but for everything she thought she’d lose.
Her smile.
Her confidence.
Her wedding day.
Chemo was brutal.
She lost her strength.
She lost her hair.
