My Story

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. My name is Eli and I am 9 years old. I was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) on May 30, 2012. I have been receiving chemotherapy for 7 months and am getting ready to start the maintenance phase of my treatment. This phase marks the day I will finish treatment. 3 years from the time I start maintenance. (today is 1/30/13) I will receive treatment until February 2016. Treatment can be very difficult and most of the time it makes me feel sick. Please support the St. Balrick's Foundation and be a part of helping to find safer treatments and a cure for children like me who will be diagnosed with cancer.
