Our 2019 Honored Hero is Skylar Brownlee!

Skylar was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia at the age of three. After an intense treatment regimen including chemotherapy, she is now a healthy and active seven year old in full remission!

Skylar's Story:

"Right after my dad died suddenly, I stopped walking. My mom thought I was sad, but then the fevers made my doctor think I had strep throat. After I still wasn't walking, blood tests said I had leukemia and I had to live in the hospital for a while. I had surgeries and a port and lots of pill medicines and medicines in my port and in my back that I went to sleep for. I felt very bad and my mom took care of me all the time. So for her birthday I rode a bike after not walking for months! I lost my hair but now it's back and I don't take medicine and I'm in school and  tumbling and ballet and I can do everything I want!"

We are so inspired by Skylar's courage in the face of cancer! She is a remarkably strong young lady. This is why we fight, and we know that beating cancer is in our blood.
