Mackenzie loves science (astronomy) and lacrosse. She is shy but funny. She adores her chocolate lab Loki who is one year old. She is outdoorsy and a Cub Scout. She is a big Harry Potter fan and loves school too.
Mackenzie was diagnosed with a brainstem Glioma in July 2022. Prior to her diagnosis, she was experiencing strong headaches. Her treatment has included radiation and two surgeries, one for a biopsy and one for VP shunt placement.
Doctors still are amazed that she was only having headaches. She was doing Lacrosse tryouts and shooting sports the week before she was diagnosed. She is ready to start training again. She rocks each radiation session. Mackenzie and her mom wear Harry Potter robes to put some magic into her treatment. Her radiation mask has Luna Lovegood’s face. We love her medical team. She has not stopped going to scout meetings and the day she was discharged from the second surgery she wanted to go to her den meeting and wear her new uniform.
