A woman battling breast cancer is empowering millions around the world without saying one word.

The video is set to Rachel Platten's hit track "Fight Song".

Kitchen was diagnosed with Stage 3 breast cancer in 2012 and did chemo, radiation, and had a double mastectomy.

But to her shock, that wasn't enough. She found out a year later, the cancer was back with breast cancer in her bones.

When Kitchen's doctor diagnosed her with metastatic breast cancer, Kitchen had no idea what that was so she made the viral video hoping to educate others.

"The Lord said it's time to share this message. And I woke up in the next morning to like half a million views. It was mind blowing," she said.

Kitchen says her family keeps her going and her goal is to watch her kids graduate high school.

And among her millions of supporters is the woman behind the song playing in her video.

Rachel Platten sent Kitchen a message saying, "Thank you for educating us on metastatic cancer. You are incredible. Apparently the world agrees."
