Sienna is
Blood Cancer United

A woman sits in a warmly lit restaurant booth wearing a bright pink ruffled top, gently holding a vibrant red drink garnished with fruit and mint. The lively setting contrasts with the quiet emotion behind the moment, reflecting how she carries both grace and resilience while honoring the memory of someone she lost to blood cancer.

For the past two years, Sienna battled leukemia. Our warrior princess fought hard and never complained. She was always positive and looking forward to a cancer-free life, but after undergoing two bone marrow transplants and many, many stays at both Kaiser and Stanford, her body could no longer take it. 

Sienna loved her family, friends, fur babies, food, music, and dancing. In her short life, she accomplished a lot; she received her Bachelor's in Business at SJSU and her MBA at Santa Clara University. She was working on obtaining her real estate license while in the hospital. She kept busy by studying, reading, writing journals regarding her experience, and learning how to crochet.
