6 year old Bellamy is currently battling leukemia. She was diagnosed back in March of 2023 after her mom, Sarah took her to the doctor for swollen lymph nodes. They got a heart wrenching diagnosis of Leukemia. She will undergo treatment for 2 years. During her treatment, her and her mom have a goal to complete 100 hikes. They currently have 22 under their belt. Mrs. Colorado and several of the other local titleholders would like to join Bellamy on one of these hikes (I think it will be hike #23 or #24 for her). Please join us in supporting Bellamy and raising awareness around Childhood Cancer. Right now, childhood cancer only receives about 4% of cancer funding. 47 children are diagnosed with some form of cancer everyday, 1 in 285 children will battle cancer during their childhood and the average age of a child diagnosed is 6 years old. Join us as we raise more awareness and bring change to our little warriors.
