Meet Olivija

In 2024, a few weeks shy of her 3rd birthday, Olivija was diagnosed with B-Cell Leukemia. Instead of planning a small celebration, we began a very long, intense treatment plan surrounded by medicine, blood work, hospital stays, monitors, syringes and sanitizing wipes — a whole new path in life, overnight.

With this diagnosis you face two battles. One is the illness itself. The other is living in a world where so few people understand what you're up against.

We hear: don't let your child's cancer diagnosis define you. Maybe. But we get to decide if it does, and for how long. Our hearts have been broken, our greatest fears confronted, and we have forcefully accepted a painful path we never would have chosen for our child.

The world we see now is not the one we knew before cancer, but it has made us who we are today. We are not defined by this. We are transformed.
