“It was the worst day of my life,” Rally Kid Keren said of the day she was diagnosed with rhabdomyosarcoma, a cancerous tumor that occurs in soft tissue. And in the days, weeks, and months that followed, her journey with cancer wasn’t going to get any easier. It all started when Keren developed a growth on her foot.
