Sarah was diagnosed with a low-grade glioma brain tumor in September 2009. She tried various medications to control the seizures for six months but finally had it removed March 19, 2010. Sarah had two brain surgeries in seven days to remove a cancerous brain tumor. The surgeries were successful.Sarah is 17. She is a junior at North Gwinnett High School. She is a softball umpire, great student and a rock and roll musician. Her first instrument is drums. She has been playing drums since she was about 13 and her favorite bands are The Who, Rush, Styx and Heart. Through her illness she has actually become good friends with Roger Daltrey, the lead singer for The Who.

We are so thankful to have Sarah and her family apart of our UGA Miracle family, and we look forward to their involvement in 2011-2012!
