33^rd Annual Miracle Tournament and Celebration Dinner

Treated at Cohen Children's Medical Center in New Hyde Park, New York.

At the age of three, Mason started having prolonged fevers. During these extended periods, he would be lethargic, irritable, and barely able to eat. Even with the bruises on his skin, Mason’s primary physician told his parents that it was just a virus. A month later, his mom knew something wasn’t right so she took Mason to the emergency department of Cohen Children’s Medical Center. Shortly after he was admitted, Mason was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia. For three years, he underwent chemotherapy treatments and has also had long hospital stays due to infections or low white blood cell count. Today, Mason is in remission and celebrated it by ringing the bell. Mason loves life, baseball, and ice hockey.

Donations to Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals fund life-saving treatments that help kids like Mason and their families cope during hospital stays.

Treated at Driscoll Children's Hospital in Corpus Christi, TX.

Paislie lights up the room with her bright smile and big energy, but there was a time when things weren’t so bright in her life. After searching for answers to explain the sudden loss of movement in her leg, Paislie was diagnosed was acute lymphoblastic leukemia. At four years old, Driscoll Children’s Hospital became ‘home’ for Paislie and her family. She began an intense chemotherapy regimen while celebrating her birthday and the holidays in the hospital. As with any child with cancer, Paislie experienced several highs and lows throughout her treatment and even came close to losing a kidney. Thankfully doctors at Driscoll were able to able to provide her with the lifesaving care she needed to not only treat her cancer but also to save her kidney and send her on a path to creating more milestones. Paislie rang the bell to mark her last chemotherapy treatment at six years old. She continues to receive follow-up care at Driscoll’s Cancer and Blood Disorder Center, and her prognosis is good. Today, Paislie is back to doing what she loves – riding horses, cheerleading, and spending time with friends and family.

Treated at UC Davis Children’s Hospital in Sacramento, CA.

Isaac was a healthy baby, but as a toddler, he became lethargic and stopped eating. His low energy and recurring fevers meant multiple trips to the doctor’s office with no answers. When his skin became pale in November 2016, Isaac’s mom advocated for a blood test despite being told it was likely a virus. The staff ran a Complete Blood Count. That afternoon, a nurse practitioner called and told Isaac’s mom to pack a bag and take him to UC Davis Children’s Hospital. The family got the official diagnosis: acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). Isaac’s treatment began right away. He spent his second birthday at the hospital and his cancer treatment continued for years at the pediatric infusion center at UC Davis Comprehensive Cancer Center. Child Life and Creative Arts Therapy programs like music therapy and interactions with the facility dog made the treatment much more tolerable. Today, Isaac remains cancer-free and loves to play football, watch sports and go to the ocean.

Thanks to support from Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals, Isaac was able to receive customized cancer treatments so he could live a healthy life in remission.
