There was a massive thread about it on PPM (the Metallica fan club boards) and everyone was pushing for her to get to meet the band. Whether or not this had a bearing on it I don't know but she got to meet the band backstage before the show and James dedicated Nothing Else Matters to her.

Also, her photos with the band were posted on MetOnTour.

I love this story!!! My favourite part was in the last article, "As she was led through the arena, fans burst into applause, asking for pictures and rocking the devil horns, the ultimate metal salute." That just totally warms my heart!! Rock on Margaret!!!!

That's a GREAT story! Really cool, and very inspirational! She's got the right idea: just enjoy your life, have fun, and don't worry about what people are going to think about you. No drama!
