Why Esther wants to be a voice for children fighting cancer:
In October 2013, I lost one of my good friends, Gabriella, to a brain tumor. She was the sweetest person I knew; always happy, bubbly, and smiling. When the cancer took over, it diminished her health, but not her spirit. Before she passed, she raised over $275,000 for the Make-a-Wish foundation. I still miss Gabriella today, and that is why I want to be a voice for childhood cancer.
