My Story

Hadley was 3 years old when she suddenly started limping in pain and was unable to bear weight on her right leg. 48 hours and three medical appointments later, her bloodwork showed leukemia. It was a nightmare that came out of nowhere. 


Always a kid on the go and with a big personality to match, Hadley has spent much of the last year isolated at home or at the hospital due to treatment. She has endured countless procedures under anesthesia and has had so many toxic medicines pumped into her little body to destroy the cancer. Hadley deals with the nasty side effects of treatment almost daily. 


Despite all this, Hadley’s fun-loving personality continues to shine as she constantly makes those around her laugh. She is the strongest, bravest, and funniest little girl. She enjoys riding her bike, doing arts and crafts, and going for walks with her dog, Rio.


Thank you for supporting Hadley and the more than 300,000 kids worldwide who will be diagnosed with cancer this year. By donating to St. Baldrick's Foundation, you're supporting research to give all kids with cancer a better chance for a cure.
