• Hometown: Georgetown, Ontario
• Year of Diagnosis: 2008, relapsed Sept 2010
• Diagnosis: Stage IV Neuroblastoma. After the first treatment protocol, I was in remissin for 17 months but the cancer came back in Sept 2010

Some facts about my treatment:

My initial treatment protocol involved 6 rounds of chemo, multiple surgeries, including one for 8 1/2 hours to remove the tumour in my abdomen, 2 stem cell transplants (which require high doses chemo before transplant) and 12 rounds of radiation. Since relapse, I have had 15 rounds of chemo and will continue to get chemo indefinitely.

What I want people to know about me

My mom says that I am thoughtful and very outgoing. She also says that I live life to the fullest and have fun no matter what or where I am.

My favourite day was

Every day I get to go to school with my friends

The worst thing about having cancer

Having people stare at me cause I have no hair, missing school, going to the hospital, getting chemo and finger pokes

What do you want to be when you grow up?

A teacher

My message to other kids undergoing treatment

Find a good thing in each and every day and keep fighting.

If you could have one superpower strength, what would it be?

I would love to fly so I could travel to all the places I would like to go - like Paris and England

If I had three wishes they would be...

A cure for all cancers, no one in the world would need anything (ie. food, clothes, shelter, love, safety etc.) and be a model

I'm involved with Coast to Coast because...

I can't ride across the country myself and I would do anything I can do to help raise money to help other kids with cancer and finding cures to all cancers.
