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. I was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia at the age of 7. The treatment was brutal and lasted for more than three years. I am now 17 and was considered a survivor on November 8, 2021. I have been involved with many childhood cancer fundraisers since my diagnosis. March 2020 would have been my 5th year shaving for St. Baldrick’s with the Melodies Center for Childhood Cancer and Blood Disorders. But COVID canceled that event and the others that would have followed. I am happy to be involved with St. Baldrick’s again though in a different capacity. I appreciate those who supported me during my fight and will continue supporting the kids that follow after me.
