As part of Childhood Cancer Awareness Month we’d like to share with you the brave children who are fighting or who have fought childhood cancer. Today’s AMAZING kid is Kennedy!

Kennedy was diagnosed at 16 months old with stage 4 hepatoblastoma, a type of liver cancer that had metastasized to the outside of her liver, her gallbladder, and her lungs. She received 4 cycles of high dose chemo, 2 extensive surgeries to remove the tumor and fix a bile duct leak from her first surgery, then 2 more cycles of cleanup chemo which included an additional chemotherapy to the three she had in the first 4 cycles.

On August 28, 2013 she received her last chemo treatment and was considered NED (no evidence of disease).

Kennedy is now a very active 3.5 year old who is entering pre-k. She loves books, animals, dancing, swimming, the outdoors, and playing with her friends and family. She remains in remission and is monitored regularly with blood work at Albany Med. She just recently celebrated being in remission for 2 years which was a very exciting time for her and her friends and family.

Kennedy enjoys donating to many cancer related charities but her favorites are Amazing Gracie’s Gift Foundation and St Baldrick’s!
