McKinley, Chloe, Ava and Lauren are four girls who met three years ago at Johns Hopkins All Children's Hospital in Florida, United States.
The four suffered from cancer and being together they managed to support each other and make their stay and treatment there less difficult. Between them, a great friendship arose and they began a tradition: take a picture together every so often.
Now, they have defeated the cancer against which each one fought, so it was organized a photo shoot, with which these four little warriors celebrate being cancer free.
Three years ago it was the first time that the four girls were together and met at the hospital. McKinley, Ava and Lauren had acute lymphoblastic leukemia, while Chloe had a rare form of lung cancer.
In Babies and more Four years later, three girls and a boy recreate a viral photo that represents the fight against cancer Each of them was in a very difficult time and felt strange in that place, but with the frequency and proximity of ages, soon they managed to feel comfortable being accompanied by other girls who were going through the same things they.
Two years ago, while all were in treatment, they decided to take a picture together in the hospital, as a way to celebrate their friendship and as a reminder to keep in mind that they were not alone and that together they would continue to fight cancer.
Despite suffering from this disease, they never lost their smile and as we can see in the photographs taken two years ago, in spite of everything they remained united and happy.
According to information from People, Lauren's mother comments that the girls became friends because they had no hair and that made them feel identified.
For mothers, it also had a positive impact.Well, having other parents close by who were going through the same thing and seeing the friendship that arose between their daughters helped them cope with these difficult years with less difficulty while treating their girls.
This year, the four girls have done it: Lauren was the last to finish her treatment, so they met again to repeat the picture they had taken while they were still patients in the hospital.
Although they have already managed to defeat this terrible disease, the girls are planning to continue meeting every year and fulfill their tradition of taking a picture together, as a reminder of the long struggle and victory they had over childhood cancer.
