I was diagnosed with cancer in November of 2024. 

I have a very rare and aggressive cancer called Embryonal Rhabdomyosarcoma. I have a tumor in my right orbit (my eye). Thankfully, we caught the cancer early and I can still see.

Since November, I have been fighting daily to beat this horrible disease. Over the course of 25 weeks, I will complete more than 20 rounds of chemotherapy, 28 sessions of radiation, weekly blood draws, multiple rounds of testing and scans, and I will undergo three different procedures. I’ve been rushed to the ER too many times and hospitalized for multiple weeks. I have received several blood and platelet transfusions that have helped save my life. I’ve been on and off steroids and antibiotics for months, leading to long days and sleepless nights. I’ve been transferred via ambulance at least five times. I’ve been poked and prodded more times than you can imagine. I’ve lost count of the amount of times I’ve felt scared, but had to be brave and strong. I’m not done yet, and I plan to keep fighting until I am cancer-free.

Did you know cancer is the #1 disease killer of kids? This is why I’m teaming up with St. Baldrick’s – the #1 charity funder of childhood cancer research grants – in their 25th year. We are raising money to help ensure that the next 25 years bring hope, progress, and cures. Together, we speed up the progress of saving the lives of kids like me.

Because of foundations like St. Baldricks, there is a cure for my kind of cancer. The money donated to the St. Baldricks foundation helps to support research for cures for all kinds of Childhood cancers, but especially the rare ones like mine. Knowing that other kids have beat this and live healthy lives has provided hope for children and families LIKE ME facing this horrible fight.

I am hoping to raise at least $2,500 for St. Baldricks to represent my 25 weeks of treatment and St. Baldrick's 25th year. Will you help me reach my goal?

Together, we are all #CamdenStrong.

Thank you for your donation!
