Teen queen makes 'dream come true'
WASHINGTON -- Actress and singer Hilary Duff meets with 12-year-old Alyssa Weishoff during a visit here. Alyssa is diagnosed with a rare childhood cancer called rhabdomyosarcoma. Ms. Duff came to Washington on behalf of the Armed Forces Foundation, a nonprofit organization started four years ago to support military families in need. While here, she read a story to military children, signed autographs and took photos with them and their parents as part of the foundation's kickoff of its National Military Families Week which began June 12.
