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 at the age of 4 on December 4th, 2024 with B Cell Lymphoblastic Leukemia. It was very hard for me to understand and get used to what was happening to me and the treatment process. Lots of ups and downs. The downs were rock bottom, and the ups were victorious no matter how big or small, but I've been well supported by my mom, dad, big brother and our newest addition, my dog AVA! Even some of the nurses at Children's Wisconsin have become my best friends! After a long, trying time period, I have finally reached the maintenance phase where my mom administers oral chemo at home and now, I only have to go to the clinic once a month! (Unless of course I am not feeling well or need blood products). Other than that, I'm doing so well in school or just being a kid!
