Property Brothers surprise East Tennessee Children's Hospital cancer survivor

One of the hospital's star patients met up with a couple of cable television stars in East Tennessee on Monday.

An East Tennessee cancer survivor got a special treat: She got to meet the Property Brothers on a special on-site visit!

As an infant in April 2007, Audrey Knepp was diagnosed at the East Tennessee Children's Hospital with stage 4 neuroblastoma and battled it for 18 months before it went into remission.

A decade later, Audrey spends time as one of the hospital's child ambassadors, helping and inspiring hope in other children who are in the process of going to the hospital.

"I want to raise money for my hospital because they are the reason that I'm still here today," said Audrey. "I want kids to be able to live life to the fullest, and I love my doctors and nurses so I want to do everything I can for them."

She recently celebrated 10 years since her last chemotherapy treatment and was named the Children's Miracle Network champion for 2018.

Last year, she happened to meet Drew Scott, one of the stars of the popular HGTV home transformation show 'Property Brothers,' during the hospital's annual golf classic and they quickly became friends.

Audrey and her mother got to meet both of the brothers, Drew and Jonathan, on set in Nashville Monday:

"I forgot how tall they were," said Audrey. "They're like 6 foot 4 and like I'm already short, so that made me feel worse about being short," Audrey laughed.

This awesome day on set is all thanks to Children's Hospital.

"We've had so many milestones with them, they're our family," said Audrey's mom, Krista Knepp. "I say it's my hospital, it's our hospital, it's not just Children's Hospital. We feel ownership of it because they've just become part of our family."
