Reese is an energetic, happy kid who just turned 3. She loves glitter and sparkly “stuff”, and when she’s dancing in her tutu and pretending to be a ballerina, she’s pretty sparkly herself! One of her favorite movies is The Wizard of Oz, which she could watch all day long. She also loves being outside and playing on the swings.

Reese’s parents took her to the ER in January 2014 after noticing some lumps on the side of her neck. Reese has food allergies, so they initially thought that she might be having an allergic reaction. The local community hospital ran bloodwork and then transferred her to the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia where she was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia.

Except for her initial hospital stays, Reese has been receiving weekly chemotherapy for the last few months. There have been delays in the process due to her low immunity numbers and fevers. Happily, she achieved remission within the first month.

Reese’s mom says, “Even though she isn't a fan of the doctors, Reese doesn't complain. She laughs and jokes and is completely happy. She is amazing.”
