Meet Dakota Ann! She is four years old and battled Leukemia.

When Dakota was just six months old, she was diagnosed with cancer and lived at the hospital for most of 2019 and 2020 while she received treatments. She nearly lost her battle twice during her stay due to breathing complications from her treatments.

She is described as outgoing, compassionate, and someone who wants to ensure everyone is okay. She is incredibly intelligent, passionate, and driven to reach her goals. She refuses to fail at anything and loves to read and create art while keeping active with gymnastics.

She is tiny but mighty and does not apologize for it!

Dakota was recently in our 2023 King of Prussia Fashion Funds the Cure event and walked the runway during her Dream Walk as a Gymnast!
