My name is Julia Grace Eveland. I am now eight years old. I have two older brothers, John and James, who I adore. I live in Royersford, PA with my Mom and Dad, James, and my Pop Pop (my brother John moved to KY for work after he graduated from college).

​

I will be in third grade at Brooke Elementary this year. I love to play with all of my friends there. I love to sing – especially songs from the musical Wicked. I love swimming and arts & crafts.

​

I was diagnosed at 5 years old with a Wilm’s tumor (stage 3) on December 2, 2009. I had chemo, surgery, and radiation treatments and had my port removed on June 22, 2010.

​

On July 11, 2011, during one of my routine scans, they found a large mass in my right chest cavity. It was confimed that the Wilm’s has come back. My treatment with this relapse included chemo and 30 days of radiation.

​

I had another relapse in September 2012, when the doctors found two small tumors in each of my lungs. This time I am having surgery to remove the tumors followed by radiation.

​

On February 27, 2013, doctors found a large mass in my right lung during a CT-scan. I started on a new chemotherapy regime to shrink the tumor. During preparation for a stem-cell transplant, the tumor came back. The doctors don’t know what to do now as there is not a standard protocol for treatment.

I will be cured and your thoughts and prayers will help me during this difficult challenge.

Julia was taken from us far too early in September 2013.
