My Story…

A Hero's Story needs to be told...I will share one that is very dear to my heart. A 3 year old boy, my nephew Severino, being diagnosed with leukemia. He fights those "bad-guys" cancer cells like a fierce little warrior...2 years later, the leukemia returns. This becomes a much more difficult fight-rounds and rounds of chemo, weeks in the hospital...the leukemia returns. An experimental treatment becomes the only option. Thanks to millions of prayers, the treatment works. A bone-marrow transplant is performed. Severino is now in recovery at Sick Kids. Severino is a hero because he has fought this battle with such bravery and courage. His sweet face always has a smile...his little voice always greets everyone in the warmest way. Severino is my hero! Please help support me as I will participate in a 10k run for Camp Ooch - a camp which supports kids with cancer. One that has helped bring light and joy to Severino and other kids just like him. I thank you with all my heart. Paola xo
