Meet Aviana! She is six years old and battling Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia.

After suffering from a low-grade fever and rapid heartbeat and breathing rate, she went to the ER, where she was misdiagnosed with a viral infection. Her health declined over the next 24 hours, where she returned to the ER and was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia two days before her third birthday. Over the next two years, Aviana seemingly responded well to her chemotherapy but recently relapsed. She is currently receiving treatment and awaiting a bone marrow transplant.

She is adorably kind, sassy, and energetic, and she is a curious little explorer who likes to travel and discover new things.

Aviana will be in our upcoming 2023 Tampa Fashion Funds the Cure event and is walking the runway during her Dream Walk as a Pizza Shop Owner!
