SAN DIEGO —
‘Miracle at Manchester' tells the remarkable story of Brycen Newman. There was a star-studded movie premiere in San Diego Saturday night.
“In June 2015, high school sophomore Brycen Newman was diagnosed with medulloblastoma – a very aggressive and fast-growing brain cancer. One month after undergoing emergency surgery to remove a large tumor, doctors discovered three more tumors growing in the teen’s brain,” the movie’s website detailed.
Days after thousands of students at Cathedral Catholic prayed over Newman; doctors said his brain tumor and cancer miraculously disappeared.
His family said it was a miracle.
Newman’s true-life story is a movie now with a red-carpet premiere and all.
CBS 8’s own producer, Kurt Boyd, made an appearance in the film.
“I was very happy to be a part of it, and I enjoyed it,” Boyd said.
Newman started a foundation hoping to provide every patient at Rady Children's Hospital with an iPad.
“I’m so proud of this man because he thinks of others first," Newman’s father, Rick, said, refereeing to his son.
