In August of 2022, at just two years of age, Leo Kushnir was diagnosed with Stage 5 Wilms Tumor kidney cancer.
On December 14, 2022, he had his right kidney removed, along with 28 rounds of chemo and nine days of radiation.
Leo is now four years old and cancer-free thanks to CHOP and Lehigh Valley Reilly Children’s Hospital!
Now the Kushnir family wants to “pay it forward” and help other families fighting pediatric cancer. They recently started a 100% volunteer nonprofit called Leo's League Pediatric Cancer Fund.
Leo Kushnir is an Ambassador for the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia.
