MAKE A DONATIONDESIGNATED HITTER: VIOLET
Violet, 7, was first diagnosed with an optic pathway glioma when she was just under 2 years old. She was treated successfully with chemotherapy at Dana-Farber’s Jimmy Fund Clinic, but was unfortunately diagnosed again in 2021 after experiencing daily headaches while in school. Today, she is battling her second brain tumor.
One of four children, Violet is very lively, energetic, and loves making her siblings, friends, and strangers laugh. Music and dancing have always been a therapy for her, and she loves playing t-ball and soccer. Violet loves cheering on the Red Sox with her dad!
You can help strike out cancer for patients like Violet by joining Jimmy Fund Little League or making a donation today.
