Gina, Leukemia survivor, seated at an outdoor event

In 1994, at the age of 29 I was diagnosed with stage IV acute myelogenous leukemia. I was told there was a five percent chance  that I would survive. Having a husband and three kids, I was devastated!

I never thought this could happen to me, and it was a long hard fight, but I did it. 

I survived and I feel proud to say I am a survivor!
