North Texas Memorial Patient
Alaina Jean Enlow - acute myelogenous leukemia
Alaina knew first hand the terrible struggle faced by the victims of blood diseases and their families. She had been a healthy fifteen year old, just beginning her summer vacation, when she got sick. Her disease was relentless but, with the help of a host of wonderful Doctors and Nurses, Alaina fought back time after time, never letting leukemia diminish her love of life or her ability to find beauty in the world around her through photography. Two years and seven months after she had been diagnosed we lost Alaina to Graft vs. Host disease following her second transplant.
