Why Mackenzie wants to be a voice for children fighting cancer:

I would like to be a voice for children fighting cancer for three reasons. One of the reasons I would like to be a voice for children fighting cancer is, I believe some children with cancer don’t know how to use their voice or are not using their voice to its fullest potential. Another reason I would like to be a voice for children fighting cancer is, my family has been affected by cancer and I would like to use my voice to make a difference. The third and final reason I would like to be a voice for children fighting cancer is; I would love to use my passion, dancing, to impact the way people see young children with cancer. I believe the opportunity to use my voice to help make young children with cancers voice seem even louder.
