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.
