Woolwine Family Story
Charlotte Woolwine was diagnosed with stage four hepatoblastoma, a rare and aggressive pediatric liver cancer, at just three and a half years old. With cancer spread to her lungs and her liver severely compromised, her prognosis was grim and the road ahead uncertain.
Her parents, Kelly and Jessica, remained steadfast through the intense four-year fight, drawing on deep emotional strength to support Charlotte through countless treatments and setbacks. Their journey underscores the critical role of family resilience in a child’s recovery from life-threatening illness.
Today, Charlotte is a thriving third grader with straight A’s, and she finds joy in dance and school—proof that life after cancer can be full and vibrant. Her story is not only about survival but about living fully, with grace and determination beyond her years.
Deeply moved by their experience, Charlotte and her parents are now working to help others through the Life Ring Foundation. Their Fighting Kids Cancer campaign will directly benefit the children’s clinic in the new Carilion Taubman Cancer Center, aiming to ensure more families can access top-tier care close to home.
