About Alex
Alexandra “Alex” was diagnosed with Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma, a rare cancer, in April 2024. Undergoing chemotherapy treatment at Hoops Family Children’s Hospital, Alex credits the medical staff and her care team at Hoops for always being a light in the darkness. In August 2024 Alex reached remission. Her cancer returned in February 2025, and she again turned to the compassionate and advanced care from Hoops. Alex received a stem cell transplant during the fall of 2025.
Alex, who loves cats, books, Legos, and is an avid fan of Cabell Huntington Hospital’s cheese pizza, is engaged to the love of her life and is looking forward to her journey into adulthood. As a Hoops Ambassador, Alex is dedicated to raising awareness and support for Pediatric Oncology at Hoops Family Children’s Hospital.
