Our beautiful friend Emily is now more than halfway through her journey with Acute Lymphoblastic Lymphoma (a form of non-Hodgkins Lymphoma). She has had to overcome many challenges and obstacles this last year that no child her age should have to face. She persevered, pushed through each day, never giving up only to continue growing stronger and stronger.
She no longer needs blood thinner shots in her legs twice a day, nor does she need cholesterol medication. Her hair is growing back beautifully and she is stronger than ever! She still has a few long months of treatment left, but the worst is in the past!
Emily, we love you, you are a true hero and we continue to stand behind you!
