I was born in Mt. Kisko, NY on June 28, 1986. I lived in Peekskill, NY. I have since lived in Pensacola, FL; Cary, NC; Houston, TX; Morris, IL; and now in Chapel Hill, NC. My cancer was discovered and treated at UNC Hospital in Chapel Hill when I lived in Cary. I had Wilm's tumor. My follow-up visits were done at MD Anderson in Houston until I moved back to Chapel Hill. My doctor at MD Anderson was Dr. Jaffee and Dr. Gold is my doctor at UNC. They are both very nice!
At MD Anderson, my sister and I got to go to Camp Star Trails. It was really fun. One year a stry dog came to visit us, no one owned it. I went fishin g and swimming.

Some of my hobbies are swimming, reading, and bike riding. Some of my favorite books are Island of the Blue Dolphins, Zia, Sing Down the Moon, The Great Gilly Hopkins, Bridge to Tarabithia, and Trumpet of the Swan. My favorite actor is Robin Willimas. My favorite music group is Trout Fishing in America. I like all the Star Wars movies and Apollo 13.

I am on a swim team called North Carolina Aquatic Club (NCAC). But, my first swim team was in Kingwood, TX. I really love swimming. My coaches are Barrett, Jim, and Sheri. I used to have another coach named Christy but she moved. They are all very, very nice, and make you work hard.
