Preston Pipkins
Preston's vibrant and active life took an unexpected turn when an illness swept through his family. While everyone else recovered, Preston struggled to regain his strength. Sharp headaches and an unusual coldness prompted a visit to Children’s Health.
Little did the family know that this visit would reveal a life-altering diagnosis—Leukemia. Preston's journey unfolded at Children’s, where he spent six months enduring four rounds of intensive chemotherapy and, ultimately, a bone marrow transplant. Despite facing the harsh reality of a long hospitalization, Preston celebrated milestones like his 13th birthday, Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year's, and Valentine’s Day within the hospital walls.
Now, six months post-bone marrow transplant, Preston is on a path of recovery! He can’t wait to walk the runway to help raise money for childhood cancer. If you would like to join us in celebrating Preston at the Children’s Cancer Fund Gala, click HERE for more information.
