As a child, I faced one of the toughest battles—acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Through it all, the care and kindness I received from my healthcare team shaped me in ways I could never have imagined. They weren’t just doctors and nurses; they were my superheroes, giving me strength when I needed it most.
Growing up, I was inspired by superheroes of all kinds—those who wore capes and those who didn’t. I knew that one day, I wanted to give back, to be a part of a child’s story in a way that made them feel strong, capable, and fearless. That dream slowly became Sidekick Smiles.
