“Reason this person is a Gold Ribbon Hero: Lauren was diagnosed with ALL Leukemia on April 29, 2015.  She was just 2-1/2 at the time of diagnosis.  Our sweet granddaughter is our HERO and a hero to everyone she knows!  Through all her treatments, some way more difficult than other, she continues to smile and show us all what true strength is!  She is a precious little girl.  She has about 2 years of treatment to go but she is kicking each phase to the curb, one by one!!!” – Laura S.
