Karlee after getting her Survivor t shirt

7 year old Cancer Survivor gives back

Karlee was 5 when she was diagnoised with a rare form of cancer called. Aveolar Rhabdomyosarcoma. After 3 short months of Chemo, Karlee lost her left leg above the knee to save her life. Karlee has undergone over seven surgerys and has been through eight prosthetic, legs and hips. One of Karlee's greatest memories was the toys that people would bring and donate to the sick children. This always made her day better and put a smile on her face. Karlee has been in remission for 18 months. Karlee wants to give back to the sick kids that are still dealing with chemo and other illnesses at doernbecher and shrinners. Karlee is selling bracelets she made while in the hospital for 3.00 a peice, so she can buy toys and donate them to the children. Please help Karlee support her cause and buy a bracelet.
