Today was one of the happiest days of my life. My 3 ½ year old granddaughter is one-year cancer-free!
On March 27th, 2011, we learned the unthinkable: my 2 1/2 year old granddaughter was diagnosed with Pancreatoblastoma, an extremely rare form of pediatric cancer. She was treated at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center.
Emma is cancer free because of the extraordinary team of Doctors, Nurses and Specialists at MSKCC who work tirelessly to provide the best care possible to all of their pediatric patients.
Please support us, by making a donation or joining us as we walk for Kids with Cancer on Saturday, May 12, 2012 at 1:30pm in Central Park at Mineral Springs. 100% of the funds received will support Memorial Sloan Kettering Pediatric Cancer Research.
When Emma was diagnosed, she knew something was wrong, but could not fully understand the problem. We told her that she had “yuckies” in her tummy and that the doctors were going to make them go “bye bye.” Since then, “Bye Bye Yuckies!” has been both our cheer and our prayer.
We are walking so that more families like ours have a chance to say, “Bye Bye Yuckies!”
Thanks for your support.
