Giving children the best chance at overcoming their disease and the opportunity to experience as much of their childhoods as possible is VERY important to me. 

That's why I'm participating in the 12th Annual Hope & Heroes Walk on Saturday, September 10th, 2022.

Hope & Heroes funds the life-saving work on childhood cancer and blood disorders in the New York region, including innovative research, support for families, and care that always puts children first. They are investing in medical research for tomorrow's cures and helping make possible state-of-the-art clinical treatments today.

My story with Hope & Heroes began when I was six months old and diagnosed with Langerhans Cell Histiocytosis (LCH), a rare, cancer-like condition. The causes of Langerhans cell histiocytosis are unknown, and it is not an inherited condition; chemotherapy is the best way to treat it. My first treatment was in June 2014. While undergoing treatment, I had my first steps, first words, and my first (and second) birthday. Thanks to the care and treatment at Columbia University Medical Center, my last chemotherapy treatment was in October 2015. I have had many more birthdays as a survivor than a patient! 

Funding from Hope & Heroes ensures that every child gets the very best care. But they can't do this critical work alone. They need support from people like me and YOU!
