As you can see, she's the beauty in the grey sweatshirt, mi amor. My daughter Erica survived leukemia, she was diagnosed when she was only two years old.

I'm the blessed momma that gets to celebrate this amazing woman of courage, who is now 28 years old!

Thanks to her awesome team at children's Hospital of Denver and the numerous supporters along the way. You’ve made the celebration of an important life possible.

Blessings, Erica’s mom, Rhonda Lee Salazar.
