This week, we are honoring 9-year old Addyson Brankle, who has been fighting medulloblastoma (brain tumor) for the past five years.
Addyson was only 4-years old when she was originally diagnosed with a brain tumor. She has relapsed 3 times since that initial diagnosis and is currently battling cancer right now.
Her nominator described her as:
One amazing girl and fighter…never let [cancer] get her down and goes to school every day, unless she’s in the hospital.
You can leave messages for Addyson on her Caring Bridge page.
We’re praying for you, Addyson!
