From the archives
Jennifer was diagnosed with leukemia at just three years old. Her initial ICU treatment began on November 22, 1982; on Thanksgiving Day, she was transferred from the ICU to a pediatric ward. After six phases of chemotherapy and radiation, Jennifer was two weeks away from completing treatment when she relapsed. Treatment began again, along with preparations for a bone marrow transplant. Hope arrived through her twin brother, Jason, who proved to be a perfect bone marrow match. Her transplant took place in September 1984.
Four decades later, Jennifer and her family celebrated the anniversary of the transplant that saved her life. The experience left painful memories, but it also helped shape her strength, her commitment to health, and her deep love for caring for children.
Now, after Jennifer’s successful brain surgery on September 10, the people who love her are gathering around her once again—with hope, prayer, encouragement, and support throughout her recovery.
