In 2018, my life was completely changed in a way that I could have never seen coming.
I was just an average teenage girl, balancing school, sports, and adolescent life, when sudden pain in my hip and leg changed everything.
What I thought was just a simple injury turned out to be cancer. Within months, I went from practices, games, and hanging out with friends, to hospital rooms and intense chemotherapy and radiation treatments.
This is the story of the moment my normal teenage life was put on pause, and I was forced into a new life and a new "normal". I had to learn how to keep moving forward, even though my life as I had known it was on pause.
