2 year old Quinn Flanagan joins the show with her parents Kerin and Dan, and brothers Seb and Charlie

from WEEI/NESN Jimmy Fund Radio-Telethon

2 year old Quinn Flanagan joins the show with her parents Kerin and Dan, and brothers Seb and Charlie Quinn was diagnosed with a Wilms tumor in December 2021. Her dad, Dan, was putting on her diaper after a bath and noticed her belly button and abdomen were shifted to the left and harder to the touch.  Kerin is a nurse practitioner and instantly knew something was wrong. By the end of the week, following a CT scan, Quinn was diagnosed with cancer and scheduled for surgery to remove the tumor and her left kidney. She began chemotherapy immediately afterward, that ended in June.  Quinn's tumor had a genetic mutation, and they were able to enroll her in a research protocol that increased the intensity of treatment and countered the mutation's increased risk of relapse. Quinn's doctors are Dr. Lindsay Frazier and Dr. Helen Reed.  Quinn loves to paint and draw, something she looked forward to doing with Jenny and Amanda from Child Life every time she visited the Jimmy Fund Clinic.  She also loves putting on her tutu and going to gymnastics every Saturday morning. Her favorites are “jump jump” on the trampoline and doing summersaults on any flat surface she can find.  Quinn’s big brother plays a lot of soccer and Quinn is following in his footsteps, always kicking the ball around the yard and often times trying to interrupt his soccer practice to join the team.  Quinn's parents are grateful for the compassion of the Jimmy Fund Clinic staff, who helped get them through the last six months. The staff makes the environment in the clinic a happy place for kids to be, remembering her name when she walks through the halls.
