Meet Our Honored Hero!

Maddy is a bright, funny, and friendly 15-year-old girl who loves tennis, hanging out with friends, and drawing her own cartoon characters. In September of 2022, she began experiencing unexplained aches and pains in her body and after several tests was diagnosed with B-Cell ALL. She began chemotherapy immediately and had several side effects that caused her to have to stay in the hospital for 6 weeks. She ended up back in the hospital a couple of other times due to other side effects. This past August she began the maintenance phase of chemotherapy which will last an additional two years. Maddy has such a positive outlook and fighting spirit, and we are so happy to have her as our honored hero!

At almost 11 months old, Nina was rushed to CHOC following a fever spike and syncope, where she was then diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia. Shortly thereafter, Nina underwent many treatments for her diagnosis but is delighted to say she has been in remission for over 10 years. She is in the After Cancer Treatment Survivorship program at CHOC, where she receives resources and support to live life to the fullest, post-cancer.

Nina's family says she is a warrior and a go-getter who never gives up on anything she puts her mind to. Nina enjoys visiting Hawaii, eating sushi, and going shopping, running, and to Angels baseball games with her family. Now age 13, when she grows up Nina aspires to be an author, lawyer, or nurse.
