From Leukemia patient to St. Jude supporter

In the fall of 2022, Micah began a new adventure as a kindergartener. Weeks into the new school year, his mom noticed he looked pale and listless.

A call to the pediatrician led to a trip to urgent care and then the local children’s hospital where tests revealed he had leukemia.

Micah was immediately referred to St. Jude. He had some hard days with chemotherapy but the experience inspired him to help other kids with cancer. He is now a second grader, is doing well, and hopes to become a St. Jude nurse one day.

He has the most generous, precious heart for people and for kids, and he makes me just want to be a better person myself.
