Elizabeth “Lizzy” Joy Wampler’s Osteosarcoma Story

Lizzy Wampler stayed strong throughout her battle with bone cancer because of her faith and the love and support of her family.

At the tender young age of 9, Elizabeth “Lizzy” Joy Wampler lived a normal girl’s life of jumping rope, gymnastics and playing with Barbie dolls. She enjoyed her daddy-daughter dates, playing Legos with her siblings, and shopping with her mother.

Lizzy liked to live her life to the fullest and seized many exciting opportunities.

During her childhood, she was featured on the NBC Today Show, displayed on the menu in 3,500 Chili’s Restaurants, honored at professional and college sporting events, recorded 3 songs, and starred in a Target video with Chip and Joanna Gaines and multiple national St. Jude commercials.
