Med student gives special Valentine to 7-year-old girl battling cancer

A love story between a med student and a young cancer patient is melting hearts in Virginia.

When med student Metul Shah found out 7-year-old Katie Whatley would be spending Valentines Day in the hospital, he decided to show her some love and showed up with a few valentines for her.

"It was so wonderful just to hear her be happy and sort of carefree, as carefree you can be with an IV pole that has eight or nine tubes coming down," said Katie's mother, Amanda Whatley.

Metul and 8 of his fraternity brothers surprised Katie with a song, treats and big smiles for the little girl fighting a big, brave battle.
