Michelle

Michelle was diagnosed in 2013 with childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia when she was 13 years old. Although she faced serious complications during her treatment, she was motivated to persevere with support from her family, friends and team at MD Anderson. Creating artwork for the Children's Art Project was a positive outlet during her treatment that she really enjoyed. Now a sophomore in high school, Michelle enjoys creating art, practicing yoga, volunteering and hanging out with her friends. She is passionate about helping other pediatric cancer patients, so she created a club at school that gives back to patients at the Children's Cancer Hospital. Michelle is looking forward to attending college and pursuing a career in Fashion Marketing.
