Gabriela was diagnosed in February 2007 with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) when she was just 2 years old. The typically energetic and playful little girl began to experience trouble walking and fell often while playing. Although she walked with difficulty, no other symptoms were noted by her parents. After testing diagnosed her with ALL Gabriela would have to endure 2 years of chemotherapy, along with port surgeries, countless blood transfusions and EKG tests. Gabriela stayed overnight in the hospital for weeks after her surgeries. Today, Gabriela is a healthy seven year cancer survivor who loves to dance, do gymnastics, swim, and most of all, spend time with her friends and sisters.
