“Reason this person is a Gold Ribbon Hero: No matter how sick Kaylee feels or how low her counts are, this little girl fights with a smile on her face. She has pushed herself to stay in school throughout her treatments and when she was unable to be at school she continued to study both academically and practicing her saxophone so she did not fall behind her classmates. She always stays positive and remains very humble despite the attention she has gained through promoting awareness of childhood cancer. She is an excellent role model for our students and hopes one day to help other children fighting this terrible disease.” – Samantha O
