I helped to raise money for childhood cancer research
I vividly remember the day I was diagnosed with stage 3B Hodgkin's Lymphoma. I was terrified and like every child I didn't understand how emotionally and physically draining this diagnosis would be on myself and my entire family. I went through Chemo-Therapy, radiation, and eventually a stem cell transplant after relapsing with stage 4B Hodgkin's Lymphoma that had metastasized to my lungs. I was a freshmen in high school when I relapsed, and for me it put a hard stop on all the goals I had as a young adult. Ten years later I've been blessed enough to become a pediatric emergency room registered nurse at the Children's Hospital of San Antonio helping children through the acute issues they present with, many times being pediatric cancer. A child is diagnosed with cancer every three minutes and this is a diagnosis that effects their whole life and entire family. With research and your help we can conquer childhood cancer and help children in one of the most challenging times in their lives. Please help these children by contributing a donation to an amazing cause. As a childhood survivor myself, I don't know what I would do without donors and contributions from selfless people like you!
