13 Year old Sadie Keller will talk about her amazing advocacy role in the fight against Pediatric Cancer beginning with her diagnosis of Leukemia when she was 7 years old. Sadie is a true icon in the Pediatric Cancer community.

from Help and Hope Happen Here · host Mark Levine

Sadie Keller was diagnosed with Leukemia when she was 7 years old in February of 2015. Two month later she produced her first video while she was undergoing treatment, because she wanted to make sure that others would not be afraid of this disease. Her videos gained national prominence as they were shown by ESPN during their annual tribute to former North Carolina State coach and cancer victim Jim Valvano, whose V Foundation has raised many millions of dollars to fight cancer. Sadie is now 13 years old, has been to the White House on two occasions on pediatric cancer related matters including a visit to the oval office, has been a guest on several Fox News broadcasts, a guest on the CNN Situation Room with Wolf Blitzer, and a guest on the NBC Nightly News with Lester Holt. She has also co-written a book with Texas Congressman Mike McCaul entitled Better Angels, and was his guest as a Pediatric Cancer International Ambassador in Botswana Africa just before the Pandemic in February of 2020. Sadie also is heavily involved in the Sadie Keller Foundation, for which she has created a number of novel programs as she continues to do what she can to help these kids who are going through their own cancer battles, as she did 6 years ago.
