“People always say life is unfair. I feel like we get an extra dose of unfair”- Campbell Sullivan

Campbell Sullivan was just 16 when her ordinary life full of skiing, dreaming about space, and watching marvel movies was interrupted by a terrible pain in her calf, of which she thought was just another pulled muscle.

After a month of ongoing pain, Campbell visited her physician who sent her to get an MRI. Just days later, the doctors revealed the terrible news to Campbell; she had CIC-DUX4 sarcoma, a mutation of ewing's sarcoma, a rare soft tissue cancer.

Although this has consumed much of her life since her diagnosis, Campbell is so much more than her cancer. Campbell is a kind, smart, funny, and talented person who stuck with her passion of skiing through all of the pain from months of chemotherapy and radiation.

Campbell began competitive skiing at the ripe age of 11 and by the eighth grade was attending the Vale Ski Academy where she began to master the art of skiing.

Campbell was, and is, bound for greatness. Despite the interruption in her career due to her treatments, Campbell is determined to continue participating with her team, even if done in an altered state.

Although cancer has taken much from Campbell, as that is what cancer does best, she has gained new perspectives, new friends, and new dreams. Cancer has an immense amount of power over everyone it consumes and it is impossible for it not to drastically effect you and all of those who surround you. The difference between someone with cancer and a cancer fighter is how they take on life's greatest challenge and how they can find the good in it.

Campbell is a fighter. Through the pain, Campbell has discovered new passions such as photography, the medical field, and advocating for childhood cancer. She has met other cancer fighters and has been shown who her truest friends are. She has discovered that giving up is not an option. No one knows how much longer Campbell will have to fight, but it is known she will finish as a champion. Whether it be a battle on the slopes or in the hospital bed, Campbell will always come out on top."

Please pray for our friend Scout! She is having surgery today and her mom Tiffany asked that you "please send all the positive juju and rainbow fairy dust our way."

She adds, "The spot they biopsied last came back negative for all markers and pre-cancer markers. The spot continued to grow from that scan to the next follow up scan which was probably 6 weeks later. Instead of another biopsy we opted to surgically remove as much of the affected lymph node clusters in order to test a larger sample. It's a longer and more invasive surgery due to the location."

Please leave a message for Scout by commenting on this post!
