‘I have a whole other family’: Emotional day as Patriots welcome Bristol cancer patient to Gillette Stadium

BRISTOL – “When we were in the admin building, that’s when they surprised me with Robert Kraft,” says Kara Doolittle remembering a dream come true that happened last week. “I was very shocked, I fell on the ground, yes.”

A whirlwind visit to Gillette Stadium, home of the New England Patriots, after Doolittle tweeted Brandon Bolden…about her battle with breast cancer.

He responded and suddenly, the 33 year old was seeing Super Bowl trophies and hobnobbing with players. “I met Damien Harris, one of my favorites,” she smiles.

And yes, spending an hour with team owner Bob Kraft.
