Walk Ambassador
Abraheem is a fighter. After watching the movie “The Land Before Time,” he saw that all of the dinosaur characters overcame every difficulty they were faced with. He began to say he was strong and scary like the menacing T-Rex, and would only answer to that name. “My name is not Abraheem,” he would say. “My name is T-Rex.” And for good reason. This 7-year-old ferociously attacks leukemia like he is looking for his prey.
T-Rex was diagnosed with leukemia just after his third birthday. Despite all of the chemotherapy and radiation treatments, he relapsed twice two years later. After looking for a bone marrow donor for a transplant for months, he was finally able to have a stem cell transplant. Now, thankfully, T-Rex continues to do very well. Throughout all of the painful and frightening treatments used to treat this illness, T-Rex roars just like his namesake and stomps down anything in his way.
