In December 2018, 15-month-old Ann Tate was diagnosed with stage 4 liver cancer, a diagnosis that accounts for only 1-2% of childhood cancers. It had spread to her lungs. The Tate family traveled from Lebanon, Kentucky, to Norton Children's Hospital, where our team on 7 West and Dr. Mustafa Barbour from Norton Children's Cancer Institute became their trusted partners in this journey.

Fast forward to August 22, 2025, the day after her 8th birthday, this incredible little fighter received the best news possible: SIX YEARS IN REMISSION!

Today, we celebrate not just a medical milestone, but the power of hope, expert care, and the amazing strength of children who face cancer head-on.

Here's to many more birthdays and a future as bright as her smile! 💛

From struggling to eat to smiling with confidence, Isaac Kayu’s transformation is nothing short of extraordinary. 💙

At 17, Isaac traveled from the Democratic Republic of Congo to Norton Children’s Hospital for lifesaving surgery to remove a facial tumor and rebuild his jaw using a bone from his leg. After weeks of planning, a full-day surgery, and nine days of recovery, Isaac is now heading home with a bright future ahead!

Yesterday, we gathered for a special send-off celebration — a joyful moment to honor his journey and the incredible team that made it possible.

This miracle took a global village: expert surgeons, compassionate nurses, a generous host family, Healing the Children Kentucky, the Norton Children’s Hospital Foundation, and the Doris Whittenberg Fund at the Community Foundation of Louisville. 🌍✨
