Liliana
Photo Credit: Dinah Sutton Photography During the spring of 2016, Liliana’s parents noticed that she was becoming weak — often, she would ask to be carried the short distance from their driveway to the front door. While still upbeat and generally happy, she was not as active during normal play time with her older sister. She also developed a slight limp without any known traumatic injury. These symptoms, combined with several spontaneous nosebleeds, prompted parents Jeff and Lisa to take...
Nylah
A vibrant, caring eight-year-old who enjoys dancing, Nylah was first diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) in 2015 after complaining of chronic head and stomach aches. At first, her parents Nigel and Cassandra thought she had food allergies, but it turned out to be far more serious than that. Following a visit to her pediatrician and a subsequent referral to the ER at Scottish Rite, Nylah was diagnosed with ALL, a type of cancer in which the bone marrow makes too many immature...

On Thursday, October 4, 2018, 10-year-old Kaylee came from school complaining of pain in her chest and difficulty breathing. Her mom, Veronica, took her to urgent care that day, where Kaylee was diagnosed with a sinus infection. To be sure, Veronica also made an appointment with her pediatrician a few days later. As it turned out, Hurricane Michael was forecasted to hit Panama City and the family was supposed to evacuate. “We happened to have our own hurricane that day,” shared Veronica....
Keelen
Keelen was diagnosed with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) on March 20, 2018, a few days after his 15th birthday. CML is a type of cancer that starts in certain blood-forming cells of the bone marrow. It’s a lifelong cancer and there is no known cure for it. For Keelen and his family, the diagnosis came as a complete shock. During his yearly eye appointment, the optometrist noticed some white spots in the teen’s eyes and immediately sent him to a specialist. The following day, the family...
Isaac
Three-year-old Isaac was diagnosed with B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) on May 21, 2019. B-cell ALL is an aggressive type of leukemia in which too many immature white blood cells called B-cell lymphoblasts are found in the bone marrow and blood. It is the most common type of ALL. For Isaac, it started with a high fever that fluctuated between 103 and 105 for seven days. After many visits to the doctor, Isaac eventually went to the hospital and was told he was sick with a virus. His...
Shelby
On August 26, 2018, parents Laura and Ryan rushed their eight-year-old daughter, Shelby, to the hospital—she was having trouble breathing and her lips were turning blue. After a few chest x-rays, doctors diagnosed her with a respiratory syncytial virus infection (RSV). They also told the family that they found a mass, and that Shelby would need to be relocated to Shands Jacksonville Medical Center. Laura rode with Shelby in the ambulance for the five-hour drive while Ryan and Laura’s brother...
