Makayla thought her life was over when she was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes at age 12—until she came to Phoenix Children’s. Watch her story now, then tune in to the KTAR News and Arizona Sports Give-A-Thon, presented by Valley Hyundai Dealers and Yrefy, August 18–22 to hear how your support has made a difference for her.

Become a Champion of Hope with a monthly gift of $20 or a one-time gift of $240 during Give-A-Thon, and a patient will receive a cuddly teddy bear in your name.
