I Relay for my daughter!!

I relay for my daughter!!
I relay for my daughter!!

Vanessa Marie Knelsen 3 years old was diagnosed with high risk stage 4 Neuroblastoma!!

Vanessa has been through A LOT in a short amount of time, she's been battling Neuroblastoma since August 2011, she’s been through many many tests and scans, more pokes then anyone should ever indure, 6 cycles of intense chemotherapy, 2 surgeries, a stem cell transplant in Toronto where she was very ill and almost lost her battle due to liver complications but her being the fighter she is came back strong and was able to go home in 37 days, shortly after she did 20 rounds of radiation back to back to which she lost total function of her right kidney and is currently going through antibody therapy!
Vanessa is 3 and NO child should ever have to go through this and still only have 40-50% outcome....we need to raise more money so that one day hopefully soon cancer will be 100% curable!!
