Kimie's Story

Kimie enjoys playing with her big brother Reese, riding her quad, swimming, and going to see Shamu. She has been on radio and TV and in the newspapers. She is in the 2012 Childhood Cancer Foundations (CCF) calendar. Awareness and advocacy to continue blood cancer research has become a major part of her life. Kimie has a rare sub-type of ALL called AF4/MLL. She falls outside the known treatment parameters, so there isn't a set treatment protocol. She will be followed closely for 10 years. We pray and hope for the best.
