My Story

In October 2025, our sweet 3-year-old Elena was diagnosed with high-risk neuroblastoma. Since then, she has conquered grueling chemotherapy, tumor-removal surgery, and two autologous stem cell transplants. Elena is currently undergoing daily radiation therapy and will them move into the post-consolidation phase of treatment. We are sharing her story to support the St. Baldrick's Foundation in their mission to fund the best childhood cancer research. By donating, you are helping fund the next medical breakthrough, clinical trial, or targeted therapy that gives kids like Elena the chance to grow up, heal, and thrive. Thank you for standing with Elena and being part of the cure.
