Before starting medical school, I was a medical scribe for a year at a pediatric clinic in St. Francisville, Louisiana under the wonderful Dr. Patricia Schneider. During my time there, I was blessed to meet some amazing young children who were currently fighting against or who had previously won a battle against cancer. Those children had a lasting impact on me, and no child deserves to go through what they went through. We cannot allow these children and their parents to go through this struggle alone, and because of that I am shaving my head with St. Baldrick's to raise money and help conquer kids' cancers! Every 2 minutes a child is diagnosed with cancer worldwide, and 1 in 5 of those in the U.S. will not survive. I refuse to accept this reality, so I’ve decided to fundraise for lifesaving research to find cures and better treatments for kids.
Now I need your support! Your donation can fund research to help kids survive and thrive. Join me today and let’s #DFYchildhoodCancers together.
