About Adam & Skylar
About Skylar
I am 16 years old and a truly grateful patient of the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia ("CHOP"). My CHOP journey began during my mother's pregnancy. Local doctors noticed that I had a lung mass on my fetal ultrasound. Although I lived in New York, with access to fantastic medical care, it became abundantly clear that no one locally knew how to accurately diagnose or treat this particular situation. Thankfully, we turned to CHOP, specifically Dr. Scott Adzick at the Center for Fetal Diagnosis and Treatment. Dr. Adzick discovered that I had a lung tumor that occupied my entire right lower lobe, and it had a massive blood supply the size of my aorta. This was a life-threatening situation, and the tumor was removed when I was just five months old. The surgery was a success, and my family was impressed with the care, compassion, and professionalism of everyone at CHOP.
Unfortunately, I have faced some additional health challenges throughout my life, such as multiple and severe food allergies, asthma, hypothyroidism, and growth concerns. While these adversities are frustrating, CHOP was there for me at every hurdle. Despite living 2.5 hours away from the campus, we routinely travel to see experts like Dr. Jonathan Spergel, Dr. Andrew Bauer, and Dr. David Weber.
While I am not the most complicated case to present to CHOP, I feel so fortunate for the care I have received, and I am passionate about giving back to a place that has given me so much.
In addition to co-founding this event, I am honored to be a member of the CHOP Youth Advisory Council. In my free time, I am a passionate golfer, a robotics nerd, and I hope to be an aeronautical engineer someday.
