Abby's Wish Details
Nonprofit organization dedicated to bring teens and preteens with cancer together through the internet and social networking. \\Abby Wunder was a beautiful fourteen-year-old girl. She died on August 15th, 2009 from rhabdomyosarcoma that she had been fighting for years. \\When Abby was alive, she was a superstar. Abby was a swimmer, ballet dancer, writer, and an honor roll student. At fourteen she showed a passion for life and progressive mind that influenced everyone she met. She filled her roles as daughter, sister, and friend with grace, heart, wisdom, and above all a sense of duty. See, most of us have lost something that seemed to come to Abby so effortlessly: out of a genuine concern for other people in this world, Abby strived every day to make herself a better person than she was the day before. During the course of her treatment, Abby met Jose Andreas from Virginia, who was fighting the same deadly diagnosis, she was. In the time and correspondence they shared, Abby and Jose found relief from the stress of a world that only they could understand. \\Abby never got selfish; she held onto her philanthropic spirit even unto death, and this was her wish: that people, kids, with life-threatening illnesses like hers should never feel alone.
