Some Albuquerque-area kids getting cancer treatment got a chance to forget their troubles for a day.

DMe Talent Agency and the Children’s Cancer Fund of New Mexico gave 12 kids the opportunity to be a model for a day at the Cottonwood Mall, a recent KRQE report said.

Organizers said the event lifted the spirits of everyone involved, including the kids.

“They’re getting the opportunity to be a model for a day,” DMe Talent Agency owner Deidre Michelle told KRQE. “We’re pushing them through a great experience and giving them some special times.”
