Fighting a blood cancer at any stage of your life can be difficult, but Lia Goh began her battle at the age of three.
In March 2009, the Goh family arrived at Toronto’s Hospital for Sick Children where they received the devastating news that Lia had been diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL).
Shortly after her diagnosis, Lia began more than two years of intensive chemotherapy treatments that would see her hair fall out and her joints become sore, while enduring nausea and frequent blood transfusions.
In spite of the difficulties, Lia’s strength, incredible spirit and lively humour kept the whole family fighting each day.
We at DesisivEdge Light The Night for kids like Lia, because no 3-year-old should ever have to battle something like this.
We’re proud to support the blood cancer community through Light The Night.
Blood cancers are the fifth most common form of cancer in Canada, affecting more than 155,000 Canadians—our family members, our friends and neighbours, our colleagues, ourselves. But together, we can shine a light toward a future without blood cancers.
