Meet Elizabeth

Elizabeth Brooklyn Blair, also known as EBB, is a rainbowlicious, super duper, cancer slayer who at the young age of five years old began her battle with Stage IV Non-Hodgkins Lymphoblastic Lymphoma. Diagnosed in 2011, Elizabeth quickly decided that cancer was not going to win. This journey began when Elizabeth experienced a bad fall at preschool and hit her forehead on some playground equipment in October of 2010. Her parents noticed a bruise-like marking on her forehead, which did not seem to be going away. After a period of ten months of watching the area, x-rays, a MRI and many doctor visits, a biopsy was done and confirmed on August 18, 2011 just one month after her 5th birthday, that Elizabeth had Stage IV, childhood cancer. Not only was the cancer found on her head, but it had also spread to her bones and was found in both her upper and lower arms, upper and lower legs and both of her feet. Elizabeth continues to battle through two years of treatment and is currently considered in remission! She continues to "kick cancer in the buttcrack" and has decided that giving back is part of her passions. Elizabeth is the inspiration for the start of EBB Foundation. She also paints for Phoenix Children's Hospital and by donating her artwork she has helped raise funds for many childhood cancer programs. Elizabeth loves singing, dancing and performing of any kind all while sporting her latest fashion statement. She hopes to be a star in Hollywood someday and with her determination and fight we have no doubt she will get there! You can read more about Elizabeth's story at www.gotebb.com.
