Meet Mikayla

Mikayla
View more warriors Next Warrior
At 18, Mikayla from suburban Philadelphia has shown immense courage and resilience. Diagnosed with a brain tumor in 2014, her battle took a challenging turn with a second cancer diagnosis four years later. Through it all, Chai Lifeline has been a steadfast pillar of support for her and her family.

From hospital stays to home care, Chai Lifeline volunteers have been there every step of the way. A memorable moment came when volunteers threw a surprise cotton candy party, lifting Mikayla's spirits during a difficult time.

A highlight of Mikayla's journey was cutting the ribbon at Chai Lifeline’s annual fundraising cycling event, Bike4Chai, symbolizing her strength and the community's support. Moreover, her nine summers at Camp Simcha have been transformative. "Camp Simcha made me feel important and special beyond words," Mikayla reflects. "Being with other children with cancer and in wheelchairs gave me an invaluable sense of normalcy and friendship."
