On August 16, 2023 Ellora was diagnosed with a Stage III Wilms Tumor. The next day, she underwent a 7 hour surgery to remove her right kidney, part of her colon, her appendix, and a tumor roughly the size of a volleyball. Within 12 hours, our feisty 6 year old was out of bed and walking around the oncology unit at Hasbro Children’s Hospital in Providence, RI. Since that summer day, Ellora has faced cancer head on and wearing a princess dress; 7 rounds of radiation and 25 weeks of chemo. She had NED scans on October 29, 2023 and completed treatment on February 12, 2024. Ellora has worn a different port-accessed princess dress (with accessories!) to each chemo infusion appointment and loves giving out stickers, treats, and crafts to all the staff and patients at clinic! Ellora’s favorite thing to do is make people smile, and cancer has not slowed her down one bit. Ellora was born with fire in her veins and filled to the brim with an inexplicable magic. She has crystal blue eyes and curly red hair that we are so excited to see make its return. She loves dancing, drawing, fashion, reading, giving lots of hugs, and cats. She is a big sister to her two little brothers Rhys (4) and Atlas (2) and loves making new friends everywhere she goes. Throughout her cancer journey, Ellora has taught us grown ups so much about bravery and how we can all do hard things (and look great doing them)! #BraveLikeEllora Thank you for supporting me and the more than 300,000 kids worldwide who will be diagnosed with cancer this year.
