As Beth Phelps, a 12-year-old girl, was getting ready for bed one night and was brushing her teeth, her parents noticed a “protruding lump” on her shoulder, visible through her T-shirt.
Until that very moment, Beth was a healthy little girl.
Unfortunately, after a doctor’s visit, it was discovered 12-year old Beth had a 7cm lesion on her left lung which turned out to be Ewing sarcoma, a rare and deadly kind of cancer.
Beth started treatments right away. She had undergone surgeries, chemo treatments and radiotherapy after which she was given all-clear.

Beth passed away on October 3, 2022.
