Storied Lives | Enrique

  • Summary

  • When Enrique’s daughter Arianna was three, she was diagnosed with a rate type of brain cancer called ATRT, which stands for Atypical Teratoid Rhabdoid Tumor. Doctors gave her 13 months to live.

    But then the family came to St. Jude. And cutting-edge treatments there helped Arianna live a lot longer. She passed away two weeks before her 8th birthday. Enrique says the family looked at those extra years as a gift, filling them with activities and memories.

    Enrique also finds solace in the fact that the treatments Arianna received are now used on other children too. He decided to work for ALSAC, the fundraising and awareness organization for St. Jude, because he wants to do everything he can to ensure no other family feels what his family has felt.
