Mary Grace loves t-ball, gymnastics and EVERYTHING about camping! She is an energetic and fun loving child that was diagnosed with a stage IV germ cell tumor when she was 26 months old. (Aug 2004) The main tumor was located in her spine and extended to her liver and lungs. Due to the location of the tumor, she completed 30 founds of chemotherapy and 23 radiation treatments before she had surgery to remove the remaining tumor in her spine. She is now in remission and continues to have ‘checkups’ every 6 months to monitor her health.
“Opening day of baseball season was extra special this year,” says Mary Grace’s mom, D.D. “According to the ‘statistics’, Mary Grace should not be able to walk right now. When she did walk up to home plate, I thought my heart was going to overflow with excitement! However, when she RAN to first base with a giant smile on her face…well, there just isn’t enough money in the world to buy that feeling!” Thank you for supporting Rally Foundation!
