Bothered by pain in her shoulder blade since the fall of 2020 while she was a member of her high school volleyball team, 14 year old Eliy Simmer saw many doctors but did not get diagnosed with Ewings Sarcoma until May 12th of 2021. Eliy spent the rest of that year undergoing treatment for this form of pediatric cancer and in January of 2022 her treatment protocol successfully ended. Now a high school senior, Eliy is looking forward to the next steps in her life in which she has a variety of choices to look at. Along with these choices, Eliy will continue her Eliy's Sunflowers Non-Profit, which she started to help fellow teenage cancer patients have as much comfort as they can while trying to get through their own pediatric cancer battles.
