Lucy Strong: Brave and Strong

Virginia Beach, VA

Story

Just a few weeks ago, Lucy’s parents, Paige and Michael, noticed a lump on her right arm and took her to the ER. After a blur of appointments, scans, and biopsies, Lucy was diagnosed with Ewing Sarcoma—a form of bone cancer that affects children and adolescents. Over the coming months, Lucy will face 28 weeks of chemotherapy and surgery to remove the tumor. Part of that journey will include removing a portion of her right humerus bone and replacing it with a custom prosthetic. Because Lucy is still growing, this prosthetic may need to be replaced in the future—adding even more complexity to her long-term care. She’ll be treated at the Children’s Hospital in Virginia. Her world—school, friendships, everyday routines—has been turned upside down as she begins this long road to recovery. Lucy is the kind of kid who makes you feel seen. She’s the little cousin who runs to hug you at family gatherings, the friend who leaves notes just to make you smile, the sister who always wants everyone to feel included. She is kind, silly, sensitive, and stronger than she knows.


Special Notes
