Today I’m honoring a true childhood cancer warrior, . 💛

I always loved watching her videos and learning from her strength, honesty, and heart. She changed the childhood cancer community through awareness, advocacy, and unwavering support for others.

So grateful to wear my Live Like Zuza sweatshirt today and carry her legacy forward with pride. Always honored. Always remembered.

Thank you, and for making this happen. 💕🎗️💕

Ordered roller skates on a whim and instantly felt 12 again.

10/10 recommend doing something wildly unnecessary that makes you happy.

Self-care looks different at nearly 46 🛼✨

Today we honor a sweet warrior on her 11th heavenly birthday. 💕

She impacted my life in more ways than I can ever explain.

Today I noticed a small rainbow in the sky. Hours later, her foundation was mentioned during another child life session. And on my drive home, her song played.
There were quiet signs throughout the day, and I don’t believe that was a coincidence. Moments like that stay with you.

Endlessly grateful to her parents for creating and continuing to support families navigating childhood cancer. Her legacy continues to make a difference every day.

Shared with love and permission. 💕

Thank you and for wrapping this pediatric cancer family in support. 💛🦄

Insurance barely covers treatment — and major expenses like flights, gas, lodging, and meals are left to families already overwhelmed by grief, fear, and uncertainty.

Because of these organizations, this child can receive critical care out of state, without finances being the barrier.

✨ Follow. Share. Donate.
Your kindness is felt more than you know.

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
