Antonio is a 9 year old from Camden, New Jersey. Antonio is so bold, silly, and bubbly! He loves big hugs & kisses! Antonio’s journey started when his mom began to notice that he was a lot more tired than usual and his lymph nodes were swollen for weeks. He was taken to the emergency room was told it was an infection.

Three days later, he would turned pale and his eye structure collapsed. Antonio was taken to his primary doctor where they immediately had his blood work done and he was later on diagnosed with Philadelphia Chromosome Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia.

Antonio is also non verbal autistic, and has also been diagnosed with acute post traumatic stress disorder so when the cancer came along, it turned the family’s world upside down. Antonio has been admitted to the hospital so many times that the family has lost count. He’s had meningitis and seizures that landed him in the PICU on a ventilator, and has had multiple lumber punctures, MRI's, EEG's that all required sedation.
