Keaton Kiddos-Sierra

Keaton Kid - Sierrasierra edad 18 Diagnóstico:

Cáncer de ovarios - "¡Tengo que pagar mi primer semestre de la universidad con mi beca de Keaton Raphael Memorial!"

Sierra contó su historia a más de cien personas el año pasado como ganadora de la Beca John McLean de Keaton Raphael Memorial otorgada en el torneo de golf benéfico anual Chipping Away at Childhood Cancer. Ella es una inspiración para todos ese día y su historia continúa tocando los corazones de las personas cada vez que se cuenta.

A la edad de 14 años, el 18 de agosto de 2010, a Sierra le diagnosticaron cáncer de ovario, ese fue el día en que toda su vida cambió y entró en una espiral descendente. Durante la cirugía, le extirparon un tumor del tamaño de una pelota de voleibol del área del estómago y, después de una estadía de cinco días, Sierra estaba encantada de irse a casa. Cuatro meses después, comenzó la quimioterapia y, a partir del 6 de julio de 2012, nos enorgullece anunciar que Sierra está libre de cáncer y se dirigió a Sierra College utilizando el dinero de su beca.

“Haber pasado por esta experiencia me ha enseñado muchas lecciones, especialmente cómo apreciar la vida y disfrutar cada segundo y cada día”.

The Unsung Heroes

When a child is diagnosed with cancer, the whole family is impacted. In this journey, siblings often become the unsung heroes—quietly showing strength, compassion, and resilience beyond their years.

While the focus is understandably on the child battling cancer, siblings face their own emotional challenges. They may experience feelings of worry, fear, confusion, or even guilt, and it’s important to acknowledge their role and provide support for them as well.

Meet Keaton’s Kiddo – Stryder

Meet Keaton’s Kiddo Stryder, a fun-loving 5-year-old who enjoys animals and race cars! At just two years old, Stryder was diagnosed with stage 4 high risk neuroblastoma, a form of cancer that develops from immature nerve cells, and spreads to distant parts of the body. When Stryder was diagnosed, he was just three months away from celebrating his 3rd Birthday. A time that was supposed to be exciting and celebratory turned into a moment of heartbreak, and what began as an ordinary childhood took a dramatic and heart-wrenching turn, turning his and his family’s world upside down. Despite the weight of his diagnosis and all that’s come with it, Stryder’s spirit has been nothing short of extraordinary.
