Lincoln

At age 2, Lincoln was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL), a fast-growing cancer that begins in the bone marrow and spreads out to the body through the blood.

Olivia

In 2023, Olivia celebrated the 5-year anniversary of her transplant conducted at The Heart Center at Children’s Health in Dallas — the place she calls the balloon hospital.

Preston

Preston likes to smile, crack jokes and try to make everyone feel comfortable – even when he’s going through a lot.

Maddie Jo

Maddie Jo took her diagnosis in stride. A bubbly, outgoing kid, she kept a positive attitude and simply told her mom “okay, what’s next?” after each appointment.

Ashlie

After lifting weights, Ashlie began having severe pain in her legs and loss of strength. She was brought to the Dallas ED, where our stroke and neurology teams determined she was experiencing a spinal cord stroke.

Adalynn

“Before Children's Health, Adalynn was sick and throwing up and nobody could explain it. The doctors at Children’s Health did the research and testing and kept fighting to figure out why she was getting so sick. We would not be here if it was not for Children's Health.”

Kasen

After spiking a 106 degree fever and having uncontrolled vomiting, Kasen was rushed to Children's Health Plano. Within three days, he had started chemotherapy for leukemia.

Davi

Davi was born with a congenital heart defect and has a superpower of making the world feel like Candyland – happy, sweet and colorful.

Lylah

Research treatment at Children's Health has allowed Lylah a chance to do ballet and play baseball, even while battling Spinal Muscular Atrophy.

Crossing the finish line at a 5K is something Mitchell wasn't sure he'd ever be able to do. Because of physical therapy done at Children's Health, now he's running as much as he can.

Kepley

Arriving at 24 weeks and five days, Kepley James entered the world at 1 pound, 10 ounces. Still so small that you could see her lungs through the skin on her chest.

As they peered over the isolette in the NICU, Jennifer and Angie saw past the crooked smile of Elli’s cleft lip and the congenital heart defect and saw a child they loved instantly.

Ava loves Broadway musicals, is obsessed with sharks and wants to be a marine biologist. And like many people, she hasn’t always liked how she looks.

Camila

Her aunt taught her how to apply blush to accentuate her cheekbones and eyeliner to brighten her eyes. But no one prepared Camila on how to fight cancer.

Davion

A muggy Friday evening in late May, wearing a polyester blue gown over a shirt and tie, is not the typical stuff of teenage dreams. But Davion fought for his life to not miss this moment.

Obie

Elaine, a mother of four, doesn’t take for granted the chance to rock her youngest, Obie. For the first two months of his life, Elaine couldn’t hold him. An incubator at Children’s Health was his crib.
