A cancer diagnosis for a child is devastating. Feelings of overwhelming sadness, confusion, anger and a mix of varying emotions usually follows such news for affected families. Leukemia, a kind of blood cancer, is the most common form of cancer seen in children and is the second leading cause of cancer deaths. Regardless, all hope is not lost as this is not a death sentence. Many diagnosed children and their parents have fought and won this monster. Suzanna Webb and her son, Levi are an example of leukemia survivors.
Suzanna Webb is an inspirational speaker and a single mother of 3 children. Her youngest child, Levi, who was tragically diagnosed with leukemia at only 2 years old is a 2x leukemia survivor. Levi was able to reach maintenance (the phase that children go back to school) after 9 months of chemotherapy treatments. After 7 months of maintenance, Levi relapsed and had to undergo a bone marrow transplant to give him a chance at life. Going through these experiences spurred Suzanna to write a book about her son’s leukemia journey, titled Levi has 2 Birthdays to offer hope to other children and families in that situation and to ultimately raise awareness on childhood blood cancers.
Her book launch and signing are slated to hold on the 23rd of April at AV Winery from 2-4pm at Antelope Valley Winery 42041 20th St W Lancaster, Ca 93534. For every book purchased, one free book is given to a child with leukemia. In addition to this, Suzanna created a merchandise store for ‘1 One Tough Mamas’ and ‘1 One Tough Kids’ whereby a significant portion of the profits from her merch will be donated to institutions like St. Jude’s who perform cancer research.
She also started a private Facebook group (Leukemia Mamas) to provide a community for mothers of children with leukemia to give them support and comfort in knowing that they are not alone in the fight against cancer.
