Marty Costner Says, "I'm very proud of her, she constantly blesses me everyday."
MaKenzi first donated to Locks of Love four years ago, when she was nine.
Her mother Michelle Wampler says that's just the way MaKenzi is, a caring and loving young lady.
Michelle says, "Makenzi worried about him, thought she was going to lose her Papaw. She loves him so much."
Good news about Marty. He is healthy and in remission.
