My Story

Avery was diagnosed with Rhabdomyosarcoma at 10 months old. He endured 46 weeks of treatment which included weekly chemo and multiple surgeries. Avery rang the bell, and then relapsed 9 months later. He will now undergo another year of treatment that includes chemo, surgery, and radiation. Avery has a unique case and was published in a medical journal to help save other kid's lives. His smile and personality have won the hearts of many, and he continues to be an inspiration to us all. 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.
