“Reason this person is a Gold Ribbon Hero: She is a strong little girl. She was diagnosed with ALL leukemia before her second birthday. August 3 2015 she turned 2 August 11. She had her first chemo at memorial hospital in Southbend Indiana on her birthday with a spinal tap also. She has had 16 spinal taps and still gets up and runs the halls after. Her strength amazes me everyday if I could only be as strong as her. She is my hero I want to be like her when I grow up.” – Toni B.
