An Indianapolis native will be on “The Kelly Clarkson Show” Thursday, Oct. 7 to share the heartwarming story about an unlikely friend she made while she was battling cancer.

Allie Olson was diagnosed with a rare form of breast cancer. The Indianapolis native, who now lives in Brooklyn, New York, found support in her UPS delivery driver, Al Rodriguez.

He became her friend, a positive light and mentor during her fight to beat cancer.

Rodriguez knew exactly what she was going through because he had been in her shoes, twice having battled cancer and won.

Being a cancer survivor himself, Rodriguez did something special for Olson: He would include letters of inspiration with her packages and bring them up to her door.
