With his parents by his side, Isaac endured seven grueling rounds of chemotherapy over 12 weeks. He lost weight, his hair and energy. But whenever anyone asked Isaac how he felt, he always responded "Good!" The chemotherapy shrunk the tumor enoughso that in April of 2009, Isaac underwent surgery to remove what was left.

Isaac has been continuing with follow-up care for the past two years, and has regained his energy and stamina. Isaac is now playing basketball, skate-boarding, biking, gaming and has been on the honor role at Gravely Elementary for the last 2 years!

The Duck family is thankful and grateful that Isaac was the "Winner" of his battle with cancer.

The Becraft?s world was turned upside down in July of 2009 when Sophia became noticeably tired and pale, and ran a recurring low-grade fever. A trip to the emergency room led the Becrafts to Children?s National Medical Center on the 4th of July, where after days of tests and bloodwork Sophia was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL). Though a scary diagnosis, her family was given an excellent prognosis thanks to thanks to the major research, time, resources, and funds that have been dedicated to finding a cure for childhood leukemia.

Treatment began on July 10th, and Sophia?s leukemia went right into remission. After a 10-day stay in the hospital, she was allowed to leave the hospital in time to celebrate her sister Isabelle?s first birthday. Isabelle?s best birthday present that year was the gift of life - her sister and best friend was alive and well.

Sophia has responded very well to the treatment and her sweet, fun loving personality has remained throughout this ordeal. The Becraft family, Sophia?s grandparents, aunts & uncles, cousins, and friends feel incredibly blessed that Sophia remains in their lives.
