My name is Kelsey and here is my Hope story...

"I was diagnosed with Hodgkin's lymphoma at age seventeen and relapsed at age nineteen which required me to undergo a stem cell transplant at Duke University Hospital.

Even though cancer brought many roadblocks and sick days, I was able to grow as a person and even go to Fashion Week in New York City thanks to the Make A Wish Foundation.One of the hardest parts about having cancer was trying to be confident and love myself without hair.

Headbands of Hope is a great organization because of its focus on helping girls who are going through a difficult situation feel beautiful and girly. It is for this reason that I proudly wear my Ocean Blue Classic Shabby headband!"- Kelsey
