Inspiration Behind Whip Pediatric Cancer

Inspiration

When I was 2 years old, my mom was diagnosed with a very rare form of pediatric cancer called Ewings Sarcoma. It’s a typically fatal bone cancer typically found in children, but she was an adult. Extra rare. She had two small children at home, myself and my brother Zachary. Although

I don’t remember her being sick , I do remember when she got better she made sure to get our family involved in helping other families with pediatric cancer. I was always drawn to the children even at a young age. Most kids would be scared if they saw someone who looked “different”, but to me even at 7 years old, they were kids, who wanted to have fun, even if they were bald and had scars. Some of the children she introduced me to I fell in love with, and they ultimately passed away. I was so angry, I didn’t understand why the doctors weren’t saving anyone, despite my fundraising efforts. And that’s when my parents sat me down through the tears and my mom said “they saved me.” And that’s why I wanted to do more. So that more kids are saved.
