How 11-year-old Breanna Beat Cancer

It wasn't "growing pains" that made the 11-year-old's joints painful. It was leukemia

What a wonderful success story for Breanna, Children's Hospital, and Ronald MacDonald House. Children's Orthopedic Hospital in Seattle treated a 3-year-old severe burn victim 46 years ago with unbelievable results. All these years later, only a little scarring remains on one arm--of my sister. Reading about Breanna, a student we have the good fortune to have at my school, I realize the great gift we have been given: access to an amazing hospital.

It's so nice to read something positive in the news rather then all the negative stuff that seems to get all the headlines. Children's hospital in Seattle is a wonderful hospital with great staff - especially the nurses! Keep up the good work Children's staff - and the good reporting. And best of luck to you Breanna - go shake the world by the tail.
