Day 4: Meet Kaela

Home » Blog

Need some inspiration to get off the couch and get moving today? Meet Kaela Cruz, one of our childhood cancer heroes who after being diagnosed with osteosarcoma (bone cancer) at age 4, had to have her left leg amputated above the knee. Since that time Kaela has become an accomplished swimmer, martial artist and has even completed triathlons. If kids like Kaela can achieve these feats, surely we can reach our million mile goal in September as part of The Million Mile. Let's do this!
