My name is Anya.

This is Anya's story.
Our daughter was only nine years old when
she began feeling excruciating pain in her right leg.
What the pediatrician first thought were growing pains,
turned out to be Ewing sarcoma.


Anya endured a lot, including six rounds of chemotherapy to shrink her cancerous tumor, eventual lung surgery and a prosthetic replacement of her right femur and partial hip.
Anya endured a lot, including six rounds of chemotherapy to shrink her cancerous tumor, eventual lung surgery and a prosthetic replacement of her right femur and partial hip. Once stable, she had another eight rounds of chemo.
Anya was in remission for a year after treatment for cancer, however, it came back. Ewing sarcoma needs more research, especially for addressing recurrence.
For our beautiful, smart, funny, loving and beloved daughter.
Please join Anya's Army to support Ewing sarcoma research and the families affected by the disease.
Proud Dad and Mom,
Bob and Sandra La Mar
