“Reason this person is a Gold Ribbon Hero: Mikayla is a six-year-old pediatric cancer survivor. last year on her second day of kindergarten we thought she had a stomach virus, a quick response from her mother led her to a pediatrician who was astute enough to realize that it was more than a virus. That day she ended up in surgery she was diagnosed with a brain tumor. Her journey started with school and ended up in the hospital that day.  MiKayla and her loving family went through a very long hard tough Journey this past year but we are happy to say today that Mikayla is cancer-free and her smile Shines on.  We are very thankful for the Wake Forest pediatric oncology medical team in all that they did for Mikayla” – Pamella G
