At just 3 years old, she was diagnosed with a cancerous brain tumor.  Her family was terrified and couldn’t believe it, their sweet little Addy had brain cancer. Adaliene’s mom, Linsie, said, “You hear about these things happening, but you never think that it’ll happen to you until it does.” 


The doctors scheduled Adaliene to start treatment shortly after. Her treatment lasted a full year consisting of brain surgery, 2 months of radiation at the hospital, and oral chemo from home. Linsie said, “Chemo was the toughest part. She hated the taste of her medicine and it was a challenge every day to get her to take it. It took a toll on her body, and she lost a whole year of her childhood that she will never get back.” During much of this time, Adaliene was able to find moments of relief and joy by watching and singing to her favorite movie, Frozen. She loved to sing “Let it Go”! Because of this, when Adaliene found out she was getting a wish, she knew that she wanted to go to Disney World to meet Anna and Elsa.
