Alexa was diagnosed with Stage 4 cancer just 3 months after her 19th birthday. She suffered through three years of surgeries, endless chemo and radiation treatments. She had asked if it were possible to have a wish granted. Unfortunately, wishes granted by Make-A-Wish or other wish organizations only do wishes for kids younger than 18 years old. Alexa felt strongly that there was a great need for those 18-24 young adults who were battling cancer to have a wish as they endure debilitating treatments and to create happy and cherished memories with their loved ones. I can only imagine the wish Alexa would have requested...maybe a meetup with Taylor Swift if that were possible? Sadly, Alexa did not get a wish granted before she passed away but I know in my heart that she would be so happy that she played a part in creating wishes for others like her. How extraordinary if these Cancer Warriors got a chance to experience something so meaningful and well deserved.
