An 8-year-old girl battling leukemia turned her love of art and design into a way to help other kids also fighting cancer.
During her treatment at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia , Mary was granted a wish through the Make-A-Wish Foundation. She decided that instead of choosing a once-in-a-lifetime trip, her wish was to design a print for Lilly Pulitzer, the fashion brand known for its whimsical, popular designs. Mary was picked up from her home and escorted to Lilly Pulitzer headquarters in King of Prussia, Pennsylvania, in the brand's famous Lilly Pulitzer jeep . She was greeted with pink doughnuts at the headquarters and got a behind-the-scenes tour before starting to design her print with the brand's designers.
It also has her three favorite colors -- pink, purple and blue -- and features daisies, a nod to CHOP's Daisy Days annual fundraiser, and daffodils, a symbol of the American Cancer Society.
