About Us
Amelia was a healthy and happy four-year-old girl who loved to laugh, play, and sing. She was beautiful, vibrant, smart, and extremely strong-willed. She was known for her mischievous grin and her contagious laughter.
In October 2018, after a random high fever initiated a trip to the ER, Amelia was diagnosed with stage IV kidney cancer. After a failed surgery to remove the kidney and mass, we discovered that Amelia’s form of cancer was, in fact, a malignant rhabdoid tumor: a very rare, aggressive form of pediatric cancer more commonly diagnosed in children two-years-old and under.
Amelia underwent surgery and five months of intense chemotherapy, all while maintaining her strong sense of determination and silly personality. Unfortunately, in March 2019, after a very rapid decline in her health, Amelia’s battle came to an end. Although her time on Earth was brief, Amelia inspired thousands of people — she reminded us all to appreciate the little things, to never take life too seriously, and to spread love whenever possible.
