Throughout 2026, we’re celebrating the many “firsts” that have made CHOP a world leader in pediatric healthcare.

Today, we’re highlighting the first pediatric patient ever treated with CAR T-cell therapy. In 2012, Tom and Kari Whitehead came to CHOP looking for a miracle for their 6-year-old daughter, Emily, who was battling acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). The standard treatment had not worked for Emily, and she relapsed twice. But our team had a new option for her: CAR T-cell therapy, developed at CHOP and Penn Medicine. Emily was the first child to receive this breakthrough treatment – and more than a decade later, she remains cancer-free.

CHOP has now treated more than 700 patients with CAR T-cell therapy, and is continuing to develop new cell and gene therapies to treat a wide range of conditions.

As the Paralympic Games come to a close, we’re proud to celebrate how adaptive sports empower young survivors like Colin.

At just 5 years old he was diagnosed with osteosarcoma and treated at the Cancer Center at CHOP where he underwent chemotherapy and a leg amputation, so the cancer would not spread. While Colin faced big challenges, he also discovered a new passion: sled hockey, a fast-paced adaptive sport featured in the Paralympics.

Today, he’s team captain for the Wings of Steel Sled Hockey Program and recently celebrated his third cancer survivorship appointment, continuing to inspire others on and off the ice. Keep shining bright, Colin! 💙
