CHILDHOOD CANCER AWARENESS MONTH
FEARLESS: ANNA'S STORY
CHILDHOOD CANCER
AWARENESS MONTH
FEARLESS:
ANNA'S STORY
At just 15 years old, Anna's life was forever changed when she was diagnosed with stage 3 childhood ovarian cancer. Through her treatment, Anna and her family lived by the motto:
"Beat Cancer. Fearless Era. Strong and Courageous."
Anna, now in remission, is dedicated to helping other kids with cancer. She started a cancer club at her school to raise awareness and approaches her survivorship with humor on TikTok, where she connects with other young people affected by the disease. Livestrong honors Anna’s journey this September, Childhood Cancer Awareness Month.

at George Mark Children's House, funded in part by Livestrong Solution Grants. This assistance allows George Mark to provide respite care tailored to young oncology patients at no cost to their families.
At George Mark, Deyzha enjoys a happy break filled with art, pet therapy, singalongs and more while her mother and sole caregiver, Crystal, a single parent of three, gets a much-needed time of rejuvenation. We are proud to support cancer survivors and caregivers like Deyzha and Crystal through our Solution Grant focus on mental health.
