SOFIA<br />

Age 7 | Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia<br />

Little Warrior Sofia was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic<br />

Leukemia in January of 2016 at the age of seven.<br />

In the months since, Sofia has continually astonished those<br />

around her with her courage and adaptability. Sofia’s mom shares,<br />

“Everyday I look at her and wonder how such a tiny little girl can<br />

possibly withstand all the endless appointments, needles, tests,<br />

chemos, medications and hospital stays without even complaining<br />

much at all. Our favorite quote that seems to sum up Sofia is<br />

‘Though she be but little, she is fierce.’”<br />

Sofia loves arts and crafts, has an impressive stuffed penguin<br />

collection and loves designing new outfits for her dolls. She enjoys<br />

playing with friends, watching movies, spending time with her<br />

family and hopes to be a fashion designer when she grows up.
