PEMBROKE PARK, Fla. – Nine-year-old Spencer Loftus is full of energy and loves school, playing with her friends, and modeling.
You’d never guess this pint-sized girl is a cancer survivor.
“When I used to get chemo in my chest, I would scream bloody murder every time,” Spencer recalled.
Spencer was diagnosed in 2020 with acute lymphoblastic leukemia at the age of 5. It was a scary diagnosis as she had to receive chemotherapy; she even lost her hair twice.
“As the mom that I am, I shaved it the first time for her and the second time. So we were the bald twins,” her mother, Tracie Summerville, told Local 10 News.
Spencer is one of several pediatric cancer warriors who will strut their stuff during the Art and Fashion Funds the Cure event hosted by the National Pediatric Cancer Foundation.
