Carley was diagnosed in July 2010 after having seizures.

Her treatment has included surgery and chemotherapy.

Her hobbies include swimming, science experiments, arts & crafts, and playing with dolls.

She attends the Thomas Prince School in Princeton.

Her family includes her parents, Cheryl and Michael; twin brother, Jonas, and little brother, Kyle

About her friendship with Amanda: They like to party, laugh, and have fun. Her favorite memories are playing in the photo booth and their dance parties.

When Carley grows up, she wants to be a florist.

Amanda has been at the Jimmy Fund Clinic for about 3 ½ years, but within the oncology “family” for 6 ½.

Amanda and Carley have had some pretty epic dance parties (she loves rock n’ roll), lots of silly times in photo booths, and countless laughs during arts and crafts, eating lunch and games. Carley makes Amanda laugh every single time she sees her. Carley's mom and dad have also been spectacular to Amanda throughout the years. Cheryl, Carley’s mom, is always up for talking travels and always asks about Amanda and her family. The Adams’ are just a great family who love each other very much. And whenever they’re at the Clinic, Amanda feels like an extended member of their family.
