Bernadette “Bernie” is the youngest of 4 children. Her parents and older siblings describe her as their shared “wow” moment and ambassador of joy. In addition to her siblings and parents, Bernie shares a home with her two best friends – her dogs. Bernie enjoys singing, dancing, books, soccer and basketball. Bernie was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia on September 24, 2016 and immediately began treatment. She spent 97 days inpatient during her 5 months of treatment. Her bravery and courage earned her the nickname, Bern of Arc. Bernie rang the end of treatment bell 150 days after her initial diagnosis.
Six years off treatment and Bernie continues to be in good health. She loves making friends at school. Life as a 2nd grader is pretty exciting.
Our family thanks you for supporting Bernie and the more than 300,000 kids worldwide who will be diagnosed with cancer this year.

Families like ours remain committed to finding cures.
