Two weeks after my tenth birthday I was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia.

On June 13, 2000, I was diagnosed with Acute Lympoblastic leukemia (ALL) I was ten years old at the time.

Over the next few years I went through some of the most potent treatments of chemo as I had not responded to the chemo. I met many friends and attended Camp Goodtime as a Camper, a NOMAD, and a Buddy. Cancer may have become a part of my life but it didn't become my life.

I Relay for my uncle George who lost his battle with cancer, for myself, for any person that has had, or have been touched by cancer, and for those that have cancer, and those that will be touched by, or have cancer
