Millie's Princess Run

Cadence was diagnosed with B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia in May of 2023. She will finish treatment this August (just a few months away!), and we couldn’t be more proud of her. Leukemia treatment lasts over two years—and the financial toll lasts even longer. That’s why we run: to support families like Cadence’s through every step of this journey.

Cadence loves all things princess and is rarely seen without a tiara or dress to match. She also loves to sing, dance, color, play with friends, and show off her “real makeup.” Her favorite food? Mac and cheese, of course. And her favorite colors (for today, anyway): purple, red, and pink.

Since her diagnosis, Cadence and her family have been part of our events—it already feels like they’re part of our foundation family. Her dad even volunteered at last year’s run, which makes it especially meaningful to honor Cadence this year.

Aadeet was diagnosed with hepatoblastoma—a rare liver cancer—last November. His journey has included multiple rounds of chemotherapy, blood transfusions, a feeding tube, spinal fractures of unknown cause, and more. Despite all of it, he still finds joy in the things he loves: puzzles, coloring, Pokémon, Bluey, and Paw Patrol. He proudly says he wants to be a "fixer" when he grows up.

He loves French toast, the color blue, and playing with his two brothers. He’s imaginative, creative, and always full of personality. He’s also incredibly brave.

We’re so excited to celebrate Aadeet and his family at this year’s Millie’s Princess Run! Every step we take is for families like theirs—families facing the unimaginable with love, resilience, and hope.
