Our 2019 Ambassadors of Hope are Reagan, Santino, Ivy, and Isaiah. Reagan was diagnosed with neuroblastoma when she 9 months old and is cancer free! Santino was diagnosed with neuroblastoma just before his 3rd birthday and although he is not cancer free his cancer is stable. Ivy and Isaiah are brother and sister. Ivy was diagnosed with AML leukemia at 22 months. She is now cancer free. Isaiah was diagnosed with Soft Tissue Sarcoma when he was 9 years old. Because of this type of cancer, he will never be considered cancer free.
They will design this year's medals!! If you would like to make sure you receive this year’s specially designed medal, you may purchase one up until August 10th.
