Melodina is a teenage girl with dreams for her future. She works hard at the things that will help her achieve that future. Her dreams - to be successful in her education and to be a successful international ski racer - eventually an olympian.
The morning of the day she first went by ambulance from our country home to Orangeville hospital and on to Sick Children's Hospital in Toronto Melodina had written a math exam. She passed with honours. Mel had been training for ski racing only two days earlier. The doctors later admitted that they thought she should probably have died three months earlier.
Since she was of pre school age Melodina has had the natural ability to set goals and then work on the steps needed to achieve her goals. This ability to plan and her iron will to achieve has undoubtedly contributed in a huge way to keeping her alive. It is because she sees a future and works towards it that Melodina is alive today.
Melodina is still fighting. Melodina still has her dreams and Melodina has inspired people all over the world with her exceptional courage and her ability to keep her dreams alive. This blog is a testament to Melodina and it is intended to give hope and encouragement to all children and all parents who face the spector of childhood/teenage cancer.
