Support and Encourage Jade!!
16-year old Jade can light up a room with her sparkling beautiful eyes and bright smile. Jade has a contagious silly side to her, but also has the most courageous spirit and kind heart. Jade’s mom shares with us that fighting Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia B Cell has put Jade’s strength and courage to the test; and that Jade has proved to have the strength of a warrior as she continues to fight to put ALL B Cell where it belongs–in her past.
“I always knew my daughter had a good heart and a kind nature, but now I see that she has the strength of a warrior. I didn’t know how she would handle all of this but she has been such a trooper; fighting for her life, rarely complaining and even donating to other people who are in need when she can. I have the utmost respect for Jade and couldn’t be prouder of the young lady she has become; stepping up to the plate to fight and win this battle. Her courage, strength and endurance is awe inspiring’ – Jade’s mom.
Jade was diagnosed with ALL B cell on April 1, 2013 and has endured intense chemotherapy treatments, multiple infections, blood clots and extended hospital stays since that day. The town Jade lived in didn’t have a children’s cancer facility so her family had to relocate 4 hours away from friends, family, pets and their home in order to be able to get Jade the assistance she needs to fight this battle.
Jade is a cosmetologist in training. She loves cutting, dying and styling hair. She also loves riding dirt bikes, playing soccer and hanging out with her friends.Treatment has restricted Jade from doing some of these things she loves, but it hasn’t stopped her from focusing on her new favorites of makeup design, watching movies, playing xbox and her long time love of listening to music.
Jade’s mom tells us that it is the support from her friends, family, and even strangers that continues to inspire Jade to fight on. Jade now knows that she has a community of support behind her, cheering for her, rooting for her and Never Ever Giving Up for her. Team NEGU, let’s join Jade’s community of support by heading over to her support page to offer her lots of notes of joy and encouragement. You can visit Jade’s support page
