A young Duluth girl got the surprise of a lifetime, a ton of gifts and a whole lot of love. 7–year–old Elizabeth Luiten is now cancer free after battling the disease for almost 5 years. She was diagnosed with acute lymphoma when she was just two years old, and Saturday, her friends and family wanted to celebrate her in a special way. Usually firetruck sirens mean nothing good for the place they’re heading to. “Not too often do you see a truck roll up to your house without an emergency with lights and sirens,” Duluth firefighter Bill Chopskie said. But Elizabeth Luiten’s friends and family wanted to celebrate her 5 year anniversary of beating cancer in a special way. “This is a miracle story here today and for us to be able to come up here and work with the Duluth Fire Department, there’s not words to describe it,” Pink Heals’ Brian Tribley said. Pink Heals is an organization that visits sick and recovering women and children around the country.
