Lizzy lived a normal girl’s life of jumping rope, gymnastics, riding bikes, and playing with Barbie Dolls. She was spunky, thoughtful, joyful and loving. Her life was forever changed when she was diagnosed with Osteosarcoma (Bone Cancer) in 2016.  For the next 15 months, Lizzy was treated at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. 

Tragically, on March 15th, 2018, Lizzy bravely and courageously finished her battle to bone cancer. Though Lizzy was featured on the NBC Today Show, displayed on the menu in 3,500 Chili's Restaurants, honored at professional and college sporting events, recorded 3 songs, starred in a Target video with Chip and Joanna Gaines and multiple national St. Jude commercials, Lizzy's greatest accomplishment was positively impacting and touching lives everywhere she went. Her passion for her purpose of faith, generosity and compassion kept her strong throughout her journey.

John and Jennifer are moving forward by faith and are focusing on raising their other two wonderful children. They receive much joy by supporting other families going through pediatric cancer. Much healing is found in creating and sharing podcasts that gives families the tools needed to navigate the journey through pediatric cancer.

Hannah has graduated from High School and is now working part-time while attending Community College. Daniel is entering his Junior year of High School while playing Soccer, Basketball and Baseball. Both greatly miss their sister and carry her memories with them each day.

Every September, in honor of Pediatric Awareness Month we organize a 5K walk/run. Hundreds of people from all over the United States gather to support children fighting a battle with cancer & remember those who have passed away from this horrible disease. All proceeds raised from the event benefit St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital and Lizzy’s Walk of Faith Foundation.
