For a couple weeks, her parents and doctors tried to figure out what was causing it until finally they looked at her legs with an MRI and she was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia.

She is passionate about animals, is a devoted friend, loves to listen to music, draw, jump on the trampoline, swim, figure skating and visit Disney World with her family.
