I have shaved my head twice for St. Baldricks and have volunteered a lot of time for Rainbow and Babies Children's Hospital, I even raised over 500 dollars for St. Baldricks in 2017, but this year shaving heads hit home for my family and me and now we need Rainbow's help.

After three months of tests, scans, tons of pokes, and surgeries for a mysterious swelling in my neck we sat down with our oncologist and we're finally given an answer. 

January 10th, 2020, I was told I have Hodgkins Lymphoma.

This has been really hard dealing with the diagnosis, finding the balance between school and doctor's appointments, wondering how much of our lives we'll have to adapt, but it has also been the most humbling and God is teaching me so much. Patience for sure.

We are so happy for answers and excited about this journey. It will be tough, it's going to suck, but we are so ready to tackle this mountain and kick cancer in the nodes.

Please consider donating! There are kids and teens and young adults being diagnosed every day with cancer and with your donation you can help cures be created so cancer isn't such a scary word.

Are you brave enough to join us? Do you want to raise some money and then shave your head on my team? Join Rachel's Lymphomies and become a homie alongside me. Everything is better with a friend.
