Sydney was diagnosed with Leukemia (AML) at 19 – too old to receive a Make-a-Wish. However, after turning 21 she had a “wish” granted when she and a friend went to Atlanta for a Harry Styles concert. That trip was not only fun, but helped her feel like a “real person” who was able to travel and enjoy life. Soon after that trip, Sydney relapsed. Because of the joy brought to Sydney by that trip, SydStrong is focused on bringing smiles to young adults (AYA) with Leukemia. SydStrong has partnered with the Nikolas Ritschel Foundation (NRF) to grant wishes through its Nik’s Wish program.

SydStrong is working with young adults throughout the United States to bring SydSmiles.
