Overcoming Leukemia

Molly spent much of her life fighting Leukemia.  She was diagnosed at three years old. She received chemo treatment from three years of age to five and a half years of age. Molly always had such a strong and confident way about her even as a young three-year-old.  When she was sick with Leukemia, Molly told her her parents, “Don’t worry, Jesus is going to heal me”.  As Molly grew into a teenager, she continued to live her life boldly with hope for the future. She was able to attend the Medical City Dallas Camp iHope every summer with other children that had been affected by childhood cancer.

 

Camp iHope was free for all of the campers and siblings with funds being raised via fundraisers and donations. Camp iHope was Molly’s favorite part of her summer year after year. Siblings are also given the opportunity and privilege to attend Camp iHope as well. Molly had many memories of attending each summer with her brother Cole and sister Kinley.

 

Molly always used her “cancer journey” to encourage others. Molly was accepted to be a counselor in training for summer 2022. She attended a leadership weekend prior to the full week camp to learn the appropriate procedures. She then was able to attend her very last Camp iHope as a leader in training, which was a wonderful experience. She poured into the children what she had received every summer from the age of six.
