This week's featured hero is Ashani Riley! Ashani was a compassionate little girl whose smile lit up every room she walked into for her 8 years of life. One evening while Ashani was in the bathtub her mother, Chelees, noticed an egg-sized lump on her upper thigh that was not there the night before. They went to the pediatrician the next day and were sent to the hospital for an X-ray and ultrasound. Ashani was admitted and needed to have surgery to have the lump removed, and they discovered she had rhabdomyosarcoma. She began treatment within a week. Her mother remembers several medications, many blood transfusions, nausea, vomiting and multiple surgeries. Ashani had a total of three relapses before she passed away from her disease.
