Aroura :: Acute Myeliod Leukemia (AML)

Aroura is a beautiful 6 year old little girl whose eyes sparkle brighter than the stars in the sky. Aroura is a loving big sister who also adores animals, especially her grey kitty whose photos decorate her hospital room walls. Aroura was recently diagnosed with Acute Myeliod Leukemia and has begun chemo therapy at Children’s Hospital Central California. When doctors told Aroura she would be loosing her hair it was very hard for this princess to understand. Her mom said she has only had her hair cut twice since birth. When she began to see her hair thin and start to fall out she decided it was time to shave her hair. Aroura has shown amazing strength in this decision and has embraced her new beautiful bald style.
