My Story

At 7 months old, my mommy and daddy found a bump on my belly. When I was 13 months old, I had my first (but not the last) surgery. The bump they had been telling my parents was okay, turned out to be a type of cancer. It’s been 4 months since then and I’ve gone through so much and have so much more to still go through. Cancer is not fair. I don’t understand what’s going on yet because I’m so young, but I know it hurts and I don’t get to spend as much time with my brothers and other family members as I used to. 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.
