November 14, 2018 | Football
Kid Captain is a partnership between Children's of Mississippi and the Mississippi State Bulldogs to salute pediatric patients. Their inspirational stories remind us just how truly courageous these young people are. This week's Children's of Mississippi Kid Captain is Taylor Mack of Magee.

Taylor Mack – Magee, MS
Taylor's journey with Children's of Mississippi started in 2015 when she was three. After experiencing leg pain and fever that wouldn't go away, her mom, Theresa, took her to Batson Children's Hospital. Doctors there diagnosed Taylor with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL).
Â
The team at Children's Cancer Center kept Taylor and her parents informed about what to expect during her entire course of treatment. With their help, Taylor, now six years old, is in remission, and continuing monthly check-ups. Her mom says she is an all-around special kid, and we couldn't agree more!
