LUKE<br />

Age 2.5 | T-Cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia<br />

Little Warrior Luke is 2.5 years old and was diagnosed with T-Cell<br />

Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia on January 22, 2016, when he was<br />

just 18 months old. Currently, he is still in the “frontline” of hard<br />

chemotherapy treatments and still has about 4 months left. Following,<br />

Luke will continue to get maintenance chemo daily for the next 2.5<br />

years, until June 2019.<br />

Luke has had many complications along the way, with a blood clot,<br />

adrenal failure, and many neutropenic delays, but through it all he has<br />

maintained his happy, fun spirit! It has been and will be a long journey,<br />

but we his family is so thankful for all of the love and support from<br />

everyone!<br />
