Amanda Daniels, was so very excited when her parents gave her a new sister; in which she named Rebecca. Rebecca was a quiet baby when born, and like many young babies; her mother was quite protective of her with illness's, so they had her vaccinated as soon as it was time. it was not until Rebecca was 2 years old, that they would come to realize; just how special this little girl would come to be. Rebecca was diagnosed with leukemia, which devastated the Daniels' household. However, this would not stop Rebecca from doing what she loved to do, as she never let her illness get in the way of her dreams and goals. Rebecca began to help others like herself, despite at times being too poorly to get out of bed; as she still put others first. At the age of 5, Rebecca started a new venture; which saw her bloom into an inspiring young lady, as she began to raise money for the awareness of childhood cancer. This was the first of many sponsored walks she held, as she also maintained a special bond with her sister Amanda.
