Meet Ali!

On October 6, 2015 at the age of 18, Ali was diagnosed with AML. She spent several months in the hospital enduring several rounds of brutal chemotherapy, full body radiation and a bone marrow transplant. Two years later, Ali was declared in remission and underwent routine biopsies. But on her 21st birthday, she received a call that she had relapsed. After further treatments and a stem cell transplant, Ali once again rang the bell at University Hospitals to announce her remission in June 2018!

In May of 2019, Theresa was declared in remission!
