Help Support Paige Marino's Fight Against Cancer

In January, Paige began feeling discomfort in her legs and lower back. After multiple doctor’s appointments, tests and scans we have learned that Paige has a tumor in and around her lumbar spine. On April 9th Paige had to have a surgical biopsy to determine the stages and classification of the tumor. On April 12th, Paige was diagnosed with B-Cell Lymphoblastic Lymphoma. The medical team’s prognosis is favorable, however Paige’s journey involves an aggressive chemotherapy treatment that began last week and will continue for over two years.

These next few years will be a battle and change her life forever. Here are things you need to know about Paige; she is an honor student in her sophomore year at Penfield High School. She is also a high school soccer player, competitive cheerleader and on Penfield Strikers Travel Team. Paige is funny, thoughtful, organized, fiercely competitive and resolute. She has faced each step with courage and determination.

Paige is a friend, sister, daughter, granddaughter, niece and cousin.

Paige is a warrior.

We are so grateful for all of the love and support in our community and for the amazing team of medical professionals at Golisano Children's Hospital.

Please keep rooting for Paige and follow along her journey as we BEAT cancer together!
