DID YOU KNOW – Elysia

Did You Know?

By 2020, it is predicted there will be more than 500,000 childhood cancer survivors in the United States?

 

 

Elysia Mireles – Elysia is a fighter.  She was diagnosed with neuroblastoma at nine years old and fought hard through difficult treatments and their side effects.  After being declared cancer free last year, Elysia’s disease relapsed in July 2018.  But hope remains strong.  Her family is hopeful that innovative immunotherapy treatments and targeted gene therapy can once again restore Elysia’s health and Elysia is planning for the future.  “I want to grow up to be a pediatric nurse so I can show the same love and care that so many showed me,” she said.

Help Elysia and support research to find a cure.
