Leah as a person was the brightest, strongest, kindest, and bravest person we have ever known. She loved dance, music, animals, school, art, and helping others. She truly enjoyed learning in any way, shape, or form, and she attended school as often as she could. Her numerous surgeries and treatments made this difficult, but even getting to do one math problem in class made her face light up.

Leah's smile could brighten any room she entered, and whenever Leah was there, you knew it would be a good time. She never liked it when she was defined by her diagnosis, and because of that, she will not be remembered by her battle with cancer. Instead, she will be remembered in the minds and hearts of many as the sweetest girl who had the ability to make anyone smile, who could withstand anything that was thrown her way, and who was constantly grateful for everything and everyone around her.

Leah's Love Your Melon hat design
In 2023, Love Your Melon hosted the "Build Your Own Beanie" contest, inviting pediatric cancer patients and their siblings to design a unique hat. The winning design was then produced and made available for purchase. Over 100 drawings were submitted, and Leah’s design was selected as the winner. Her hat was sold in two batches, with 100% of the proceeds benefiting Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, the institution where Leah received a lot of her care and treatment.
