Rally Kid Brielle: A Little Girl with Big Dreams and an Even Bigger Fight
Brielle is a bright, beautiful 8-year-old who loves working on craft projects, dancing around the house and surrounding herself with all things pink and purple. Like most kids her age, she dreams of playing with her siblings, going to school and simply being a kid. But instead, Brielle’s dreams have been interrupted by something no child should ever have to endure: cancer. When Brielle was 4 years old, her family’s world turned upside down when she was diagnosed with high-risk neuroblastoma.

Brielle’s treatments were grueling—her family had to travel across state lines each time she needed care. And for a little girl who loved all things pink and purple, the loss of her hair was one of the hardest parts. But Brielle, true to her fighting spirit, embraced her journey with courage and grace. Through six rounds of chemotherapy, two bone marrow transplants, twelve rounds of radiation, and six rounds of immunotherapy, she remained...
