Up until mid-September, Sapphire Lorayne was a happy, healthy, energetic, silly three-year old...Until on Monday, September 17, 2012, she was suddenly, and unexpectedly diagnosed with Leukemia. Two days later the cancer was further characterized as: Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (also known as ALL). This was only 10 days after Sapphire's 35 year old mother, Summar, was diagnosed with Stage IV metastatic breast cancer. Sapphire's father's name is Pascal, and she has an older brother (age 6) named Jayden.
