	Description:		Peyton Gully joins Chris and Christy on the podcast this week to share her personal journey with childhood cancer. Now a junior in college, Peyton was diagnosed as a sophomore in high school at the age of 15 with mixed phenotype acute leukemia. As an active cross-country runner and lacrosse player, Peyton describes noticing her performance slowing down leading up to her diagnosis. When a month-long headache sent her to the ER, she found herself on a multi-year journey of chemotherapy, CAR T-cell therapy, and two bone marrow transplants before finally being declared cancer-free three years ago. Peyton describes what it was like to miss a year and a half of high school, and how the support of her friends and family made a difference in her journey. She ends by sharing how the experience deepened her faith, and why she is ultimately thankful for what she endured.
