Emily’s Smiles was formed in 2016 after Emily passed away from AT/RT (Atypical Teratoid Rhabdoid Tumor), a very rare form of pediatric brain and spine cancer. Emily smiled through her treatment of intense chemotherapy, numerous surgeries and radiation. As a result, her infectious smile is the reason for the name of the charity founded in her memory. Emily’s family continues to raise money for children who have brain cancer in the hopes that one day soon, no child is told that they have this disease.
