Kahleesi
14 Jun 2024Kahleesi, of Team Kahleesi, started life early. She came into this world at 26 weeks. And fought to stay alive. At age 9 ½ months we found out that she had cancer. This began a two-year journey fighting Hepatoblastoma. (Liver cancer). Her odds of surviving were very small, but her personality, even while very sick, shined through like a beacon. Even at eighteen months, when her cancer spread to her lungs, her radiant smile and laughter, wooed others into her circle. Everyone she met joined our team of well-wishers and prayer warriors. She is truly an amazing little person.
Kahleesi has received every kind of chemo treatment available for hepatoblastoma, as well as twenty-five sessions of radiation. If this cancer comes back, she has no other options. That is why The Great Cycle Challenge is so important. All kids should have a chance to grow up.
Her doctors still call her the Miracle Child and she is outperforming every prediction they have made for her. They said she would never have the breath control to be an athlete, yet in her swimming lessons, they say they have never seen a five-year-old with that good of breath control.
She has been in remission for three years and is doing so, without meds. Her doctor says she is one of the few patients he has in remission he can say this about.
Kahleesi doesn’t remember any of the battles she has had to fight, but she understands why the Great Cycle Challenge is so important and even recognizes the GCC Logo and her team logo when she sees them. She loves riding her bike and raising money to help these children.

This September, Team Kahleesi is taking part in the Great Cycle Challenge to fight kids' cancer!
Why? Because right now, cancer is the biggest killer of children from disease in the United States. Over 15,700 children are diagnosed every year, and sadly, 38 children die of cancer every week.
Kids should be living life, not fighting for it.
So we are raising funds through our challenge to help these kids and support Children's Cancer Research Fund to allow them to continue their work to develop lifesaving treatments and find a cure for childhood cancer.
Please support us by making a donation to give these kids the brighter futures they deserve.
Your support will change little lives.
Thank you.
