My Story

Allyson is a very happy, friendly little girl. She enjoys singing, dancing, and playing with her friends. She is currently in 2nd grade. Allyson loves to talk and never meets a stranger-she always has a story to share. She loves animals and cheese pizza. Allyson has had cancer twice in her short life. She had a Wilms Tumor in 2002 when she was only 18 months old. She had her left kidney removed and did 21 weeks of chemotherapy She was cancer free in June of 2007 and diagnosed with secondary cancer in April 2008. She recently finished 43 weeks of chemotherapy and 25 radiation treatments for alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma of her right orbit. She goes every 3 months for scans and blood work and the most recent tests showed No Evidence of Disease! Hooray! She continues to be a source of inspiration to both her family and people in our community. No matter the circumstance she always has a smile on her face and a warm personality.
