Support Lily's Fight Against Leukemia

On September 4th (World Leukemia Day), Lily was diagnosed with B-cell lymphoblastic leukemia. She was admitted to Ochsner Children’s Hospital in New Orleans just 11 days shy of her 3rd birthday. She is currently undergoing her first round of treatment, including chemotherapy. Thankfully, her prognosis is great since it was caught very early, but they have a long journey ahead to get her into remission.

We all say that Lily is 3 going on 30. She has a love for all things nature and would rather eat fresh-picked veggies out of the garden than cookies or sweets. She is particularly fond of dinosaurs and knows the difference between a Pterodactyl and a Pteranodon. She can also tell you the names of the different Pokémon and their specific skills. Above all of those things, she is the kindest, spunkiest, and most intelligent little girl.

Blood donations can also be made at an Ochsner-affiliated hospital or clinic in her name (Lily Tebo) which will help offset their costs. Please also consider registering to become a bone marrow donor at bethematch.org, which helps match people diagnosed with cancer to healthy donors for lifesaving stem cell and bone marrow transplants.
