Elana’s Story
After one and a half years of living in the hospital, nine cycles of chemo, 15 surgeries, endless needles, emotional and physical pain, on my last day of chemo, I was the happiest person in the world. But when I looked around the hospital at every kid who was suffering, I realized that other children are going through the torture that had just ended for me. I decided to start my foundation—Koenig Childhood Cancer Foundation—with my sister and family, and we have been giving back and helping other children diagnosed with cancer so that they can be spared the pain that I felt.
