Meet Kylie

Kylie, was born on May 3rd 2004. She brought hope to her family, who was experiencing multiple health setbacks, and she gave everyone a reason to overcome their struggles. As the holiday season approached, Kylie was nearly 8 months old, and her personality was starting to shine. However, her family had no idea what was looming on the horizon.
In January 2005, Kylie started having low-grade fevers, which her doctors described as viruses. A few weeks later, she was back at the doctor with a minor case of pneumonia. She was expected to improve with antibiotics, but Kylie kept getting worse with each passing day. The next few weeks were a flurry of doctors and hospital visits, each without any answers. Finally on January 21st, Kylie's family learned the unthinkable. Kylie had cancer.
The next four months Kylie fought for her life, enduring multiple surgeries, 4 rounds of chemotherapy, and countless other treatments while in the intensive care unit at Rainbow Babies and Children's Hospital in Cleveland, OH. Amazingly, her spirits remained high and she flashed smiles to everyone who entered her hospital room.
As Kylie's 1st birthday approached, it became clear the cancer wasn't letting up and that there was no other treatment options available to save Kylie's life. On May 6th, 2005, just three days after her birthday, Kylie received her angel wings.
Based on the perspective Kylie's friends and family learned while living in the hospital with her and to continue Kylie's legacy of love, they began the Kylie Jane Long Foundation to aid other courageous children and families who are in the fight.
