Lincoln Veach had been healthy until around age 4, when he started feeling ill. Tests indicated he had leukemia and Lincoln was referred to UI Stead Family Children's Hospital, where they confirmed his diagnosis of B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia, a cancer that affects B lymphocytes, white blood cells that grow in bone marrow. He began chemotherapy, but developed life-threatening necrotizing fasciitis, a sudden bacterial infection that can be fatal. Surgeons removed the infection during a series of operations and Lincoln was given strong antibiotics. He began physical therapy and resumed chemotherapy and is now able to walk again.
