June 3, 2016 to June 12, 2016
My name is Savannah and I am in 2nd grade. Last year my terrific teacher read "Alex and the Amazing Lemonade Stand" to our class. After we read the book, I knew I wanted to help find a cure for cancer.
This year I will work hard to honor, my friend's little brother and Girl Scout Troop Leader's son, Sonny Alfieri!
Sonny's Bio:
"Sonny was a very healthy baby until the age of 8 months. Always happy, smiling, and playful. He woke up with a low grade fever that I believed was from teething and within five days he stopped eating, playing, and sitting up on his own. Two days later he was diagnosed with high-risk infant ALL (acute lymphoblastic leukemia). Sonny has gone through two years of intense chemotherapy because he is high-risk. Through all his treatment, transfusions, infections, and months of hospital stays Sonny never lost his happy personality or his smile! He is very popular with his nurses and is a very friendly little guy.
Sonny just reached 9 months off treatment and is in remission. He still suffers from many side effects from all the high dose chemo and an infection that caused neurological issues. He loves to play outside with his toys and siblings. His favorite place is the park and he loves Paw Patrol! It's so nice to see Sonny finally enjoy being a kid!" -Alexis (Sonny's Mom)
