My Story

A little less then 2 weeks before my 3rd birthday I was diagnosed with 

leukemia.  It was life altering for me and my family.  I consider myself a very lucky kid because the type of leukemia I was diagnosed with has a 90% cure rate.  I am forever grateful to all of my doctors for knowing how to treat my leukemia.  Without them, along with all the science and research that has been completed, it's possible that I would not be alive today.  Instead, I am now in remission!  I am 8 years old in the second grade and I am enjoying all that life has to offer.   I am so blessed to be here today sharing my story.
