Is "A Walk To Remember" a true story? Someone told me once that it happened to the lead singer of the band Switchfoot, Jon Foreman.

Pretty sure it's not based on Jon's life.

"The inspiration for A Walk to Remember was Nicholas Sparks' sister, Danielle Sparks Lewis, who died of cancer in 2000. In a speech he gave after her death in Berlin, the author admits, "In many ways, Jamie Sullivan was my younger sister." The plot was inspired by her life; Danielle met a man who wanted to marry her, "even when he knew she was sick, even when he knew that she might not make it". Both the book and movie are dedicated to Danielle Sparks Lewis."
