Every year, Joey's Run benefits a local pediatric cancer family. Jada was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia with a M7 mutation on August 4, 2018. She was admitted to Shands in Gainesville to start the first of 3 rounds of chemo therapy. After the first round, they discovered nodules in her lungs which were progressively bigger and she still had residual disease. Jada started her second round of chemo therapy on September 17th and finally went into remission at the end of October. The doctors determined that a transplant was needed and they were not able to wait for a 3rd round of chemo. She received a transplant on November 14th and engrafted on November 27th. She was released on December 8th and is seen in the clinic twice a week for labs and physical therapy.
