My Story

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. I was diagnosed with anaplastic PXA WHO 4. A PXA is a very rare tumor, for it to be malignant is even rarer. I've already done 6 weeks of radiation with chemo. Now I'm doing chemo every other week for a year.
