Hello there! My name is Reese. I am a cancer survivor. My friendship with Brynn started on the oncology floor at Cook Children's. I can tell you, kids around age are hard to come by on the oncology floor. When we learned about each other, becoming friends was much better entertainment than our parents could offer.

Brynn and I weren't only friends on the floor. We became close outside of the hospital as well. So much so, that I'm not a part of the family and still visit them to this day. Advocating for childhood cancer is personal for me, not only for myself, but for the others I became friends with.

I am a Bulldog Ambassador for the Battle Brynn Foundation. This means I help carry on Brynn's legacy by sharing her inspiring story with others and advocating for childhood cancer.

In the coming year, I've set a personal goal as a Bulldog Ambassador to raise $50 for the foundation in 2024.

Prior to Brynn's diagnosis, she was a competitive multi-sport athlete. At 10 years old, a sports injury led her to the world of childhood cancer.

Our foundation raises funds and awareness through various sports events and tournaments to keep her spirit of competition alive. The funds raised will directly impact other families battling cancer by providing special and unique experiences to help them live through the storm of childhood cancer.

For Brynn and her family, it was important to continue to live and even "escape" the new normal that is cancer. We want to ensure childhood cancer families feel supported through community acts of kindness.

Our foundation will strive to work towards partnering with other foundations who have already made research for childhood cancer a priority. There will be funds allocated each year to contribute to these foundations.
