CLEVELAND — At just nine-years-old, Kaycee Clark has lived through many difficult experiences.
In April, the young girl from Silver Lake was diagnosed with medulloblastoma, an aggressive form of brain cancer.
"She was in the hospital for three months, and she's only been home about four weeks," her mother Nicole said.
One month after surgery to remove the tumor, the Clark family learned that the cancer had returned and spread to her spine.
Ahead of another bout with cancer, the Clark family received a special experience on Friday at Progressive Field prior to the Guardians-White Sox game.

Through a partnership between Casey Cares Foundation, which provides opportunities to families with critically-ill members, and the Cleveland Guardians, Kaycee received a VIP experience.
"We wanted to give her the experience of a lifetime," said Casey Cares Foundation representative Mackenzie Baynes. "We're really just here to make her smile and enjoy these moments with her family."
Ahead of the game, Kaycee watched the Guardians hit batting practice, met some of the players, and in front of the sold out crowd at Progressive Field, gave the go ahead to play ball.
"We don't want to waste any time together," Nicole added.
Kaycee has completed 30 doses of radiation at Cincinnati Children's Hospital and is also scheduled to complete six months of intense radiation therapy in Akron.
