UAB Students Make Magic Moment For Cancer Survivor Lizzy Davis

By Donna Cope

Lizzy Davis is floating on cloud nine today, thanks to Magic Moments and UAB Health Administration students.

On April 19, UAB students gave Davis the experience of a lifetime, gifting the young leukemia survivor and her family a free trip to Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando.

Davis, 11, thought she was handing out trophies to winners of UAB’s 13th annual Master of Science in Health Administration (MSHA) Classic Golf Tournament at Bent Brook Golf Club in Bessemer, Alabama. Davis watched in disbelief as, suddenly, UAB students in brightly colored Disney costumes surrounded her. Pink, peach and purple balloons wafted upward as Lizzie’s name was called out in congratulations.“I was really, really surprised,” Davis said. “I’m very excited, very happy. I can’t wait to see all the characters. My favorite is Minnie Mouse.”
