An inspirational 21 year old has made a video to announce her Cancer diagnosis which has gone viral and raised money for her treatment and schooling.
Last week, Paige Morrison was diagnosed with chronic myeloid leukemia. There is no cure for this cancer, but with lifelong chemotherapy drug treatment, which will cost over $100,000 a year, she is expected to (and will) continue being the most perfect specimen of a human being to ever walk the earth.
Not only will she graduate from the University of Dayton in the spring, but after being accepted to 4/4 medical schools she interviewed with these last few months, she has chosen to attend the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine in the fall of 2017.
Her sister posted her announcement video on Youtube which has had loads of views and an interest in helping fund both the treatment and schooling.
“You cannot imagine how brave this 21 year old woman is, and how proud the rest of my family and I are of her. In the fight against cancer, we believe that losing an opportunity to laugh is losing a point to the big C, and we’re planning on a shut-out.”
Morrison initially planned to specialize in emergency medicine, but with her recent diagnosis, she’s leaning towards research and oncology.
Morrison’s medical school education will cost an estimated $120,000 over four years, on top of her ongoing treatment costs. Her sister has also set up a ‘GoFundMe‘ page to garnish support.
