Meet Leigh

Leigh was diagnosed with cancer in her bones when she was 17. She was a varsity cross country runner for her high school, and ran six miles the morning she was diagnosed.

She had her primary tumor removed from her leg bone and was unable to walk for seven months. Leigh received a total of 15 rounds of chemotherapy and many surgeries to remove all 36 tumors from her chest; nevertheless, she persevered and went into remission in May 2005. She astonished everyone when she ran the region cross country meet with all of her teammates just one month after she began to walk again.

Leigh is happily finishing her senior year of high school, and has plans to attend Liberty University in Virginia this fall. Leigh plans to become a nurse because of the profound impact her oncology nurses made on her life. She knows the only way to help defeat cancer is to research it. She looks forward to the day when no one has to suffer from this disease.
