Regan Hill was diagnosed with Leukemia when he was four and a half years old. After heavy treatment of chemotherapy, the doctors said that he was never supposed to run again. He had a rubber port put into his chest in order to put the medicine the he needed into his blood stream.

“After the first year of chemotherapy, I acquired an allergy to the medical tape that was on my arm. The doctors did not know that I was allergic until I went into anaphylactic shock,” sophomore Regan Hill said.

After two years long years of being in the hospital, the doctors said that he was healthy enough to go home and live his life as his own.

“After I went home for the first time, it wasn’t all that different because my parents gave me shots and medicine every day. Going to school every day was weird, though,” Hill said

Now, he is going to school, playing sports, and has been going to Relay For Life for the past 6 years to raise money for cancer

“Every year, in June, my family and I all go to either to Liberty High or South Valley Junior High to walk around the track all night,” Hill said.

The doctors said that he was never supposed to run again, but that has not stopped him from playing sports.

“The doctors said that the chemotherapy destroyed a lot of my leg muscles and it would be hard for me to play sports, but that never stopped me form playing baseball. I played baseball for 5 years and I loved to feel the adrenalin after you hit the ball and start to sprint toward first base,” Hill said.
