  • Relationship to Childhood Cancer: Acute T-Cell ALL Leukemia

The week before I was diagnosed with cancer I was playing football and my team won the provincial championship. Then on Since November 5, 2008, when I was diagnosed with Acute T-Cell ALL Leukemia, life stopped and I began a different game to play...one for my life.

I have gone through hundreds of tests and treatments. Mom says we shouldn't know how many chemo treatments...that's a number we don't want to know...lol. I will be done treatment in February 2012!

To all Canadians- Please help so one day even maybe soon there will be no such thing as cancer...so no other child has to go through what my family has gone through or what I have gone through.
