There has never been a sweeter victory when my mom "Rang the Bell" at her last day of cancer treatment in June at the Calaway Young Cancer Center VVH. When my mom was diagnosed it was super scarey for myself and sisters as the word "cancer" made our hearts drop to our stomach and we didn't really understand what her treatment would involve. We had a hard time focusing in school and life in general as we felt empty and had a wierd heavy feeling over our heads even though my dad and mom helped us the best way they could. This all changed when Kate Klos gave me a tour of the cancer center, answered my questions and gave me a better understanding of what my mom's treatment would look like. My mom's entire cancer "Team", integrated therapist, navigation nurse, radiation nurses, radiation oncologist, oncologist, PT and the people in valet parking were very supportive to my family and put a positive light on the entire experience. With the generous, caring and loving support of the entire cancer "Team" they helped our family WIN the FIGHT. I want to give back and "Rally" for other families and especially kids that need the support from this amazing organization. I created a "Team" GWS Ballers to step outside the court and represent our community in giving of ourselves to help others. Let's do this and get the job DONE!
