My Story

Hi Everyone! I have been cancer free for 3 years now. I'm glad that I don't have to go to the hospital that often anymore. I don't remember much about staying there or going through chemotherapy. I just remember one time when my parents had to get me french fries because I was really really hungry.  I wasn't allowed to eat until after my procedure and it was hard to do. But I don't have to go through that anymore! 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.
