Inspiration: Jennifer

Jennifer is an 11 year old who was diagnosed with an astrocytoma brain tumor in September 1997. Aside from the numerous surgeries, broken bones and chemotherapy, nothing seems to stop her. She has such inner strength and a charming way about her. Her continued effort during her numerous sessions of physical, occupational and vision therapy have made her a strong person. She’s a determined, sometimes sensitive girl who has made many people admire her courageous smile.
