My name is Aaron and I am 16 years old. When I was in first grade (in 2014) I was diagnosed with leukemia and had to stay in the hospital for 23 1/2 days. I couldn't be in school for most of first grade while I was getting treatments. It was hard being one of the only kids in my school to have cancer. The Valerie Fund helped me feel better and got me a VGo robot so I could see my friends at school. Since then, I got accepted to the Union County Magnet High School and competed in the VEX Robotics World Championship! I hope you will support the Valerie Fund so they can help other kids like me feel better!
