My Story

Mya is a 6 year old who was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) on June 29, 2024. She likes arts and crafts and loves all of her animals that she has at home including four dogs, bunnies, sheep and chickens. As a kindergartner last school year, she played youth club field hockey, basketball and lacrosse. Lastly, she enjoys the company of her older sister and cousins, especially when they all go camping together. Thank you for supporting me and the more than 300,000 kids worldwide who will be diagnosed with cancer this year. By sharing the gifts of your time, talent and money with the St. Baldrick’s Foundation, you're supporting research to give all kids with cancer a better chance for a cure.
