Texas Mom to Volunteer at Ultimate Hike to Support Children’s Cancer Research
Melana Ligertwood hiked 22.7 miles last year in honor of her son Max’s cancer diagnosis; this year, she’s helping others hike.
When Melana Ligertwood’s son Max was only 8 weeks old, he was diagnosed with stage IV neuroblastoma, which affects 7% of all children with cancer. The lives of everyone in their family came to a sudden halt.
