'I thought it'd be neat to mark a milestone in our journey.' Kiara Dilger starts leukemia treatment tomorrow. Today, the three-year-old got to be part of a photo shoot through the nonprofit Flashes of Hope.
INDIANAPOLIS – The three-year-old and her mom came to Peyton Manning Children’s Hospital from just outside of Evansville – a three-hour drive.
On Wednesday in the middle of appointments, the two came down to the Center for Cancer and Blood Diseases. It’s where professional photographer, Mark Watson, set up his studio Wednesday.These photos are a start to a new journey for the Dilger family. The nonprofit called “Flashes of Hope” marks a moment in time during a child’s cancer diagnosis through photographs. Nationally, the organization has done nearly 90,000.
Before sitting down for photos, the families participating at Peyton Manning Children’s Hospital are pampered with hair and makeup. Once the session is wrapped up, all of the photos are given to them for free. For patients who are isolated to their rooms, the team gowns up and heads to them.It is a flash of hope — of strength — of love — of beauty. A time to celebrate the bravery through a cancer journey the Dilgers and so many others have walked.
