On Monday, January 19, 2026, our lives completely changed. Our sweet daughter Brooke was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL), and that same night we were immediately transferred to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital in Memphis.
Brooke has always been a healthy little girl, so the diagnosis came as a complete shock to our entire family. For four months, we called Memphis home as Brooke bravely underwent aggressive chemotherapy treatment at St. Jude. During that time, she faced countless appointments, procedures, hospital stays, and challenges with a strength and courage that continues to amaze us. She has shown incredible resilience, positivity, and bravery through every step of this journey.
In May, we were able to return home to Huntsville, where Brooke will continue her treatment with the Huntsville St. Jude Affiliate Clinic. We are incredibly grateful to be back home while still receiving the same compassionate, expert care closer to our family and support system.
Leaving St. Jude Memphis was bittersweet after the incredible love, care, and support we received during our four months there. The doctors, nurses, and staff became like family, and we will forever be grateful for the role they have played in Brooke’s journey. We are thankful to now have our local St. Jude Affiliate Clinic team by our side as we continue this next chapter of treatment. Her entire treatment plan is expected to last for 2 1/2 years.. so we still have a long road ahead of us.
Our days are long and often exhausting. They are filled with visits to the leukemia clinic, the infusion center, and therapy sessions, all while managing both IV and oral chemotherapy medications. Brooke has undergone multiple surgical procedures, including placement of a PICC line, a chemo port, and countless lumbar punctures to administer intrathecal chemotherapy. We also have weekly lab visits to monitor her bloodwork, electrolytes, and blood cell counts.
While this journey has been overwhelming, Brooke continues to show strength and resilience beyond her years. Through it all she has remained strong and brave; waking up everyday with strength and courage. So far she has been responding well to the treatment and after four weeks of treatment was considered MRD Negative with no leukemia cells found in her bone marrow or blood. This was incredible news, and the fact that she achieved MRD negative within four weeks at the end of the first phase is even more remarkable and a strong indicator of a very positive long-term prognosis.
Who is Brooke The Brave?
Brooke is a smart, sweet, and silly 6 year old girl who loves playing outside, riding her scooter and bike, and going swimming. She is also incredibly creative and enjoys drawing, painting and decorating. A true girly girl at heart, she loves dressing up and wearing tutus, sequins, and all things sparkly. Her favorite colors are pink, purple and gold! She’s inquisitive and observant, loves watching movies, and has the most beautiful imagination.
Most of all, Brooke is kind, compassionate, and full of love for her family; especially her sweet sister, Brielle. Although she has leukemia, leukemia does not have her. She is still our sweet little Brooke: strong, joyful, creative, and full of light.
Lastly, we are offering these shirts as a small token of hope and to help our family during her two year medical journey. Something you can wear in support of Brooke and her courageous fight.
40% of every shirt purchased and 100% of cash donation (minus standard credit card processing fees) made is a reminder that she is not fighting alone.
We are praying for continued healing for Brooke, for her treatment to work as it should, and for her to continue this journey with strength, bravery, and hope. Thank you for following our story and for helping lift our family during this time. Your love, support, and prayers mean more than we can ever express.
