Inspirational Stories

Story was diagnosed with biphenotypic leukemia (BAL) in July 2010. She was four years old at the time. She was treated with two rounds of “high-risk protocol” chemo. She was in complete remission after 60 days. However, because of her particular diagnosis, we were advised that she needed a bone marrow transplant to have the best chance of long-term remission. Her older sister, Lyric, who was just six at the time, was a perfect match. 

She received Lyric's bone marrow on November 8, 2010. She has been in remission since. Story started walking with The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s (LLS) Light The Night fundraiser last year and looks forward to participating this year and many years to follow.
