Meet Charlie. He is a 3 month old who
is quite the little fighter. Charlie has a rare form of leukemia called
juvenile myelomonocyctic leukemia or JMML. JMML is caused by a genetic
mutation and affects just 1 in every 3 million children. The only
treatment is a bone marrow transplant, and at this point in time,
Charlie's prognosis is up in the air. What we do know is that only half
of the children with JMML survive. Charlie is an absolutely beautiful
little boy, with a gorgeous smile, who is full of so much life and joy.
He has a shunt in his head, he's on oxygen, and he has to eat from a
tube, but he fights on. He has a beautiful family who is doing
everything they can to give Charlie the best care possible. Charlie
attends one of the leading hospitals in the country for children. Keep
up the good fight, Charlie! We are all rooting for you!
