What a great opportunity for our family! Lilly was asked by Primary Children's Hospital if she would come and speak at this event. Hyundai Hope on Wheels awarded Primary Children's Hospital - specifically Dr. Engel - a $250,000 grant for childhood cancer research. Only 24 hospitals in the nation are awarded with this grant, and we are so grateful Primary Children's was one of them.
I didn't plan it, but was glad I had Emery wear her "Millie" dress today!

Presenting Dr. Lemons with the check on behalf of Dr. Engel. (who was in Washington DC for a pediatric cancer summit also sponsored by Hyundai.)
Dr. Lemons talked a little bit about the research Dr. Engel has been doing, specifically for T-Cell Leukemia.
Lilly speaking a little bit about her cancer journey. She did so well! I'm proud of her. She said she wasn't nervous at all. Well, I was nervous for her! Way to go MISSY!
Lilly also presented Nathan Miller with an appreciation plaque from Primary Children's Hospital.
Every child has a story to tell. Hyundai Hope on Wheels is committed to finding a cure for childhood cancer one handprint at a time.
"Thank you Hyundai Hope on Wheels for this grant. I hope it can help find a cure so that other kids like me don't have to get cancer." ~Lilly
She did a fantastic job!
