My Story

I don't ever remember childhood cancer not be part of my life...I was only 13 months old when I was diagnosed with a brain tumor. I was told I wouldn't make it to see my second birthday. Here I am 12 years later, I just celebrated my 13th birthday! I can't use my right hand/arm because of where the tumor was. I'm one if the lucky ones. Most of my brain tumor friends weren't so lucky.  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.
