Last dance: Hundreds attend prom for dying Wisconsin teen

APPLETON, Wis. (AP) - A 14-year-old Wisconsin girl suffering from an illness that will take her life has decided to unhook her ventilator and die - but not before she attends prom.
Hundreds turned up Friday night to support Jerika Bolen of Appleton as she celebrated "J's Last Dance." She told the Post-Crescent the night was "awesome."
Jerika got her hair done and put on a fancy dress, flowers were sent from across the globe, she was escorted by police and a fire truck, a YouTube star made a surprise appearance and a favorite boy band sent a video message.
Jerika has spinal muscular atrophy type 2, which destroys nerve cells in the brain stem and spinal cord.
