"We're very excited for our 4th Annual Gold as Ice Game to benefit Eileen,” stated Jacob Noble, organizer of the Gold As Ice Game . “She was diagnosed with Leukemia this past July. Leukemia is a broad term for cancers of the blood cells. The type of leukemia depends on the type of blood cell that becomes cancerous and whether it grows quickly or slowly. Leukemia is the most common cancer in children younger than 15. Eileen loves Minnie Mouse, Bluey, Dinosaurs, and Jack and Sally from A Nightmare Before Christmas and here soon, she will love Hockey as well!”
