At the age of six, Riley Fessenden was diagnosed with a rare nasal cancer. Riley remained smiley, positive and full of hope during her treatment.
Her spirit joined a community and inspired many. Riley passed away on July 20, 2016 at the age of nine. On May 22nd, 2013, Riley (age 6) was brought to her doctor's office with the following symptoms: runny nose, swollen glands and swollen left eye. After a CT Scan, MRI and a lot of testing at Boston Childrens Hospital, a malignant tumor was found in Riley's Nasal Cavity that also stretched into the Brain Cavity. After Riley's biopsy, she was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer called Esthesioneuroblastoma (ENB). Riley lost her battle with cancer and passed away at the young age of nine on July 20, 2016.
