This page is dedicated to Makenna and her journey to beat pediatric renal cancer. On April 23, 2014 doctors discovered a mass arising from Makenna's left kidney. By May 2, 2014 she had went through a biopsy and port placement and we received the diagnosis that her cancer was a Wilms Tumor. This started a 6 month journey of chemo, surgery, and radiation to get her cancer free.

The annual Owen J. Roberts Senior Awards Ceremony took place last week, featuring the presentation of the Makenna Ann Massi Memorial Scholarship, and we are proud to announce this year's recipient as Erin Bolger!

Erin submitted an essay that truly resonated with us. Like many, she didn't know Makenna personally, but noted the profound, lasting emotional impact Makenna left on everyone around her. Detailing how Makenna's story was a reminder to appreciate all we have, that we never know what curveball life will throw at us, proving that the struggle only makes the outcome more rewarding.

This fall, Erin will be attending Colby College in Maine to study Biology, with plans to enter the medical field to become an empathetic healthcare provider who positively touches others' lives—just as Makenna did.

Please join us in congratulating Erin and wishing her success in college and beyond! We look forward to hearing about your future accomplishments and how you continue to carry Makenna's spirit forward.
