At six years old, Vyla enjoys most of the same things as other girls her age: princesses, gymnastics, eating ice cream, and playing with her little brother. And though she may be vibrant and vivacious now, Vyla’s life used to look a lot different.

Two years ago, Vyla’s mom Kirsten took her to the doctor for what she thought was a routine UTI. Unfortunately, that one visit would throw their family’s life into a tailspin. Doctors discovered a Wilms tumor on her left kidney and, at just four years old, Vyla was diagnosed with cancer.
