Carson is
Blood Cancer United

In October 2016, after a few months of asymptomatic fevers, joint pain, and extreme irritability, Carson was admitted to the University of Virginia Children's Hospital in Charlottesville, Virginia, where she was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL).

Despite the many challenges she's faced with the disease and treatment, she remains an amazing and brave little girl. She is a wonderful, loving, and precocious three-and-a-half year old girl who adores her older sister. She desires nothing more than spending time with her family, dressing up like a princess, and swimming on hot afternoons.
