Spring is a time of renewal—a time when bare branches and gardens transform into bright scenes of color. If ever there was an appropriate time to describe the vigor of one particular pediatric patient named Khyrstin, or “Kyssi” as she prefers, this is it. Around the halls of MD Anderson, Kyssi is known as the fashionable and outgoing girl that’s always smiling. Her enthusiasm is contagious from the matching earrings she wears everyday right down to her coordinated sunglasses and sandals. After being diagnosed with a tumor near her kidney, Kyssi has braved surgery and chemotherapy with maturity and grace. Of course, she has a lot of support. Her father is a police officer who enjoys taking Kyssi to Chuck E Cheese’s, while her mother shaved her own head in a compassionate gesture of solidarity after Kyssi’s first chemotherapy treatment. Enjoy the designs created by all of MD Anderson’s young patients. Remember, each purchase helps fund important programs that make life better for children with cancer.
The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center A
ranks as one of the world’s most respected centers focused on patient care, research, education and prevention. For nine of the past 11 years, including 2012, MD Anderson has ranked No. 1 in cancer care in U.S. News & World Report’s annual survey “Best Hospitals.” Recognizing the importance of maintaining a sense of normalcy during cancer treatment, the Children’s Art Project combines the excellence of MD Anderson’s resources, with its own unique vision, to provide young patients with an opportunity to create artwork featured on gift merchandise. Each purchase funds important programs benefiting the educational, recreational and emotional needs of patients and truly makes life better for children with cancer.
