Junior Falcons cheerleaders surround Britlyn Caruso, 8, for a photo during a game Sept. 10. Although Britlyn suffers from cerebral palsy and epilepsy and isn't able to perform cheers along with the others, Britlyn's teammates are very supportive of her being a part of their team. - photo by Erin O.

Britlyn Caruso’s friends and family call her Sweet B. “She just lights up my day,” family friend and Britlyn’s cheerleading coach Reba Smith said. Britlyn suffers from cerebral palsy and epilepsy, but the 8-year-old is able to live a somewhat normal life thanks to cannabis oil. “Without it, we wouldn’t be able to do things like cheerleading,” Britlyn’s mom Sarah Caruso said.
