Tessa was my everything. She fought cancer with a scarf and a smile, and she was never caught without lip gloss and a pair of high heels. She was my best friend, and she is the reason I fight so hard to make a difference so that no one ever goes through the pain of losing their best friend like I have lost mine. Tessa was known for her dancing, her music videos, her loving personality and high sense of fashion. She made more people smile then she even knew. She made this world a better place. At the end of her life, we made a t-shirt fundraiser for her. Silento, the singer of Watch Me, even contributed and bought “We Love Tessa” shirts for himself and his entire team.

Charlotte was one of the first kids I got to meet when I started Whip Pediatric Cancer. She stole my heart from the very first time we met with her gracious ballet skills and sweet and quiet personality. She was a perfectionist, an artist, and the best big sister around. Our bond is something so sacred to me. Charlotte passed away after suffering from long-term effects of pediatric cancer. She beat cancer. It was the toxic treatment that ultimately took her life. I forever miss her every day. We were able to do a T-shirt fundraiser for her and her family.

JW is the cutest little man I got the honor to visit a couple of times during their visits to NYC. Though he was so young, he was the bravest guy.

His family needed assistance with funeral expenses, so we were able to help them with this.

We knew we wanted to help in any way we could.

Sarina’s story is one that hits very close to home for me. She lives in the town over, and she is 21 years old, just like me. We met during her first fight with Acute Myeloid Leukemia when we were seniors in High School. Now, as seniors in college, we talked about breakups and new clothes until she received the dreaded news that she relapsed and has to fight this beast once again. I wanted her to be able to do something that fueled her soul.

Finn is a family friend of our beloved Hunter Rose. She does not have cancer but has been treated on the pediatric oncology floor at Seattle Children’s Hospital for her immensely rare conditions.

Hunter’s mom reached out and asked if there was anything we could do as the family struggled. Our hearts broke, and we knew we had to help!

Kaylee fought cancer for over eight years. Stage 4 Neuroblastoma. We met Kaylee early on when we started Whip Pediatric Cancer. Her laugh was contagious; she was athletic, smart, funny, quick whited, and loved to tickle me and pull pranks on me. She loved Starbucks, video games, LEGO’s, and playing soccer. One time she pulled my shoe-laces out of my sneakers so that I couldn’t leave when it was time to go home. Sadly, at the end of Kaylee’s battle, she lost mobility in her legs, which made it difficult for her to do basic things like making it upstairs to her shower. We were able to help her family to create a handicap accessible shower for her.

Shelli battled Stage 4 Neuroblastoma for a long time. She and I became friends over the internet. We would often message and just talk like regular friends would.

She lost all of her mobility towards the end of her fight, and we decided to help her get some things that were handicap accessible for her new home with her new husband.

Rose is the perfect mix of sugar and spice. She is all princess at pink at times, but also enjoys hanging out with New York State Police Department and playing Pokémon. We fell in love with Rosie after getting to visit her in NYC. Unfortunately, during the pandemic, Rose relapsed and had to start treatment once again. Relapsing is never easy, but during a pandemic, it makes it even more difficult. We wanted to help her and her family the best that we could.
