My Story

Update Jan 2016. We just celebrated Abby's 1st "rebirthday." Abby received an unrelated donor, perfect match, bone marrow transplant in Jan 2015. She continues to have issues and remains immunosuppressed from the treatments after the transplant, but we are so hopeful as her recovery continues in the forward direction. Taking it day by day, but continue Expecting Miracles and between that & the wonders of science with research, we will get there!!

Update...Abby has relapsed, we couldn't be more heartbroken. After being just 11 months off treatment, Abby relapsed Sept 16, 2014 with PH ALL. Abby is currently undergoing chemotherapy to be prepared for a bone marrow transplant. Hi! My name is Abby. My favorite color is green and I love princesses. I had Leukemia, specifcially PH ALL. I love to play with my friends, go to school, swim, play video games of any kind, color, and I love to be with my sisters. Your donation to St. Baldrick's Foundation in my honor means so much to me and my family. St. Baldrick's plays a big part in research for my specific rare type of childhood Leukemia. Because of the research, I am here today. Thank you and thank you St. Baldrick's Foundation!!
