Jamie Deibel was 12 years old when she was diagnosed with ALL leukemia. She had been very active in sports and always healthy, so it was quite a shock to receive this news. Jamie's treatment lasted 2 1/2 years. During those years her world was flipped turned upside with many difficult procedures, but she managed to make the most of her time. She is now 8 years out of treatment.


Jamie took her cancer experience and made something positive out of it. Jamie and her mom, Taylor, started their own St. Baldrick's event at St. Albert. She also recruits her own team, "Jamie's Gents & Gals" for the 4th Street Live event. This will be her 10th year recruiting and participating with St. Baldricks. Between her 4th Street Live team and her event at St. Albert Jamie has helped to raise $750,000 to conquer childhood cancer


Jamie graduated with a degree in Health Science from EKU in May 2011 and is now finishing up a second degree in psychology at the University of Louisville. After graduating she will pursue in her journey to become a childlife specialist. She would like to work at Kosair Children's Hospital where she was treated and would love to do for other children what those did for her while in treatment.
