They are the words that will make any parent’s blood run cold: “Your daughter has leukemia.” That’s exactly what was told to Leslie’s mother last year by her doctors in North Carolina. Leukemia. In Leslie’s case, Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML), one of the more challenging forms of cancer to treat. Leslie’s mother was also told something else by her doctors: “We’re going to send you to the best hospital.” The hospital? Miami Children’s Hospital.
Here’s the latest in a continuing series of videos I’ve been producing for Miami Children’s Health Foundation, who raise funds and awareness for Miami Children’s Hospital. Under the care of MCH’s nationally recognized Cancer Center and their remarkable Child Life Specialists, Leslie’s story is one that will warm your heart – especially if you’re a parent. So, check out the video (and you might want to grab a box of tissues before pressing play).
