You Can’t Stop Fighting: Tate Student That Battled Cancer Graduates Today
June 2, 2014
Halee Boyd was among the students graduating from Tate High School Monday morning. A special moment coming a year later than she had hoped. Before her senior year, she began a battle against Alevola Rhabdomyosarcoma , ARMS for short, a rare cancer of the muscles that are attached to the bones. Treatments and complications prevented her graduation last year.
As her class members walked across the stage last year, Halee was in the PICU and Sacred Heart Children’s Hospital. Her entire graduating class wore gold ribbons in her honor.
“”Better late than never! It took me a little longer than most, but I’m finally here, crossing the finish line. Today, I stand a little bit taller and a whole lot stronger. Get ready to watch me fly!” — was printed on Halee’s graduation invitations.
Over the weekend, Halee’s family and supporter’s painted “Graffiti Bridge” in Pensacola for Halee as a congratulatory surprise.
“If you have something to live for, you can’t stop fighting,” was painted on the bridge.
