Emma Wallace is a BLESSING, not a burden! We want to show her that by sending her to Disney's Epcot where she's dreamed of going since she started her ordeal 8 years ago.
Imagine being 17 years old and living in chronic pain ever since you were 9... and no Doctor could tell you why. Until just a few months ago, Emma has battled with constant pain, hopeless nights, and wrestling with that question of "why me?" for the past 8 years.
It wasn't until her genetic testing came back to provide answers, and a 12+ inch long tumor was finally found to have been growing in her upper back, that she began to find relief just 3 months ago! She has a condition where the tumor suppression gene (called the PTEN gene) is "turned off", so her body doesn't know to fight tumor-causing cells. This is a condition she'll live with the rest of her life.
Now here's the fun part for all of us: Imagine feeling like a burden all those pivotal years growing up. Our Warrior Chain is here to show her that she is a BLESSING, not a BURDEN. Emma is a huge Star Wars fan, and we're sending her to Disney! A bunch of strangers she's never met (you) can send a few dollars as a small "blessing token" to show that her story has been a blessing to you.
We need $2,700 to send her and her family to Disney. We've been graciously offered a house for the family to stay at in Orlando, so we just need to cover their park tickets!
