“Reason this person is a Gold Ribbon Hero: My daughter was born with Sacralcoccygeal Teratoma. She was only 6 weeks old when she endured chemotherapy. She was taking from one hospital to the next never able to see sun light for 3 months. She has since been in remission. She is 8 years old now, loves Shopkins, and gymnastics. She has been a remarkable big sister to Destinee  who also is a cancer survivor. Destinee was diagnosed 1/28/2013. She has since been in remission but now we found out she is a silent carrier for Thalassemia. When I told Dionys what was going on she said, “mom she will be OK, I will make sure.” – Tyiesha P
