“Hi! I’m Abigail, my younger sister, Aubriana was diagnosed with cancer. For my 10th birthday, on June 10th you will have ten days to donate 10 dollars. There are 43 kids diagnosed with cancer in the US only, every day! I find that crazy! Only 4% of the billions of dollars donated go towards pediatric cancer research. Maybe people can help find a solution for this and in the future, we can find a cure for all cancer! Bye!”

Aubriana’s Story:

Aubriana is 8-years-old and currently battling medulloblastoma

“Aubriana was diagnosed with medulloblastoma. By the grace of God and Aubriana’s incredible pediatrician, they recognized the urgency of her symptoms and sent her for immediate testing which ultimately saved her life. ‪On Wednesday, December 18th‬, a team of talented and remarkable doctors successfully removed all of her tumor.  But Aubriana’s fight is far from over!  The tumor removal left a small indentation that needs to heal, leaving her left side paralyzed. As it heals she has had to relearn how to do everything again from feeding herself, sitting, standing to walking. Although not a guarantee her surgeon is confident she will make a full recovery from her paralysis. On March 18 she completed a 7-week course of Proton Therapy radiation. She is currently undergoing a year of chemotherapy.”
