Audrey Stubblefield, Honored Hero

Audrey is a sweet little girl who loves music, doing artwork, gardening, baking, and helping care for her new baby brother. In May 2013 at 20 months of age she was diagnosed with Philadelphia Chromosome Positive Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (PH+ALL). A very small percentage of children with ALL are also Philadelphia Chromosome Positive - a form of ALL that is more aggressive. Thankfully, due to recent medical advancements supported by The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, the cure rate for children with PH+ALL has more than doubled in the past ten years. Since her diagnosis, Audrey has been receiving wonderful care at Children's Hospital Orange County (CHOC). Throughout her treatment, she has remained a fighter and her strength has inspired many. She has been in clinical remission since July of 2013 and is looking forward to finishing her treatment in the summer of 2015.
