Erica was a fabulous 12 year old and a provincial gymnast with goals of the Olympics. One fateful day her femur broke during practice and Osteosarcoma was discovered. After several rounds of chemotherapy, a leg amputation and multiple trials; Erica's cancer went into remission. Erica's Wish was her dream to comfort children with cancer and to raise awareness of this horrible disease.
