Making a difference in the lives of kids with cancer and blood disorders
Growing up, Keren was very social and athletic. While playing soccer one day, Keren started having pain in her foot, and soon after a mass began to form. It was determined that the mass was an aggressive cancer called rhabdomyosarcoma. The diagnosis was bleak, but with the care and support from staff at Children’s, Keren was determined to fight.
