On World Cancer Day, we celebrate stories of hope, resilience, and the lives that prove healing is possible.
Katelyn Silviano is one of those stories.
At just 18 years old, she is a childhood cancer survivor who has been in remission for 12 incredible years. Her journey didn’t end with survival it blossomed into purpose.
Katelyn has turned her experience into impact:
✨ Founder of KK’s Toy Drive, bringing comfort to children in treatment
✨ Hope Ambassador for Runway to Hope
✨ Honored Hero for Visionaries of the Year Orlando supporting Blood Cancer United
She uses her voice to advocate, her heart to serve, and her story to inspire. Katelyn reminds us that survivorship is not just about living it’s about lifting others along the way.
Today we honor every child fighting, every survivor thriving, and every family holding on to hope.
Because behind every ribbon is a real story, a real family, and a real reason to keep pushing for cures.
💛 Hope lives here. Awareness matters. And together, we keep whipping childhood cancer.
