Leukemia Changes a Life

My next blog is about a little girl that is held close to my heart. Her name is Lauren Turner and she is currently eight years old. She was diagnosed with AML leukemia just days before her sixth birthday. She is the strongest young girl that I have ever met. She overcame her cancer because her sister, Hailey Turner, was a perfect match for a bone marrow transplant.


Last week, we found out that the cancer was back and they are currently not sure if another bone marrow transplant will work. Lauren is willing to keep fighting hard to overcome this hardship that has taken over her life. Her family and friends are struggling with the news. She has a Caring Bridge website if you want to learn more about her and her background story. 


My purpose for this post is that I hope you all will pray for a quick recovery. I will keep you updated on her condition in my blogs. This information will come from my mom and her Caring Bridge website. Also, I posted a video below I made of this sweet girl to help the class see how strong Lauren is. I have faith in Lauren because she is a fighter.



Romans 8:28 And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, 
who have been called according to his purpose.
