Community Hero 2007
Naomi Williams
Little Naomi, or “Princess” as her family lovingly calls her, is nothing if not resilient. Being diagnosed recently with Large B Cell Lymphoma hasn’t slowed down her pace in the least, says her father, Demarcus. “She has been a real trooper, handling all of her medical challenges with such ease. While getting her chemotherapy treatments, she’d waste no time in running around and playing in the hospital. It was like any other day to her.”
She extends that same energy to her favorite activities, like taking trips to the park, devouring sausage pizza, and making crazy figurines out of Play-Doh. Canines of all sizes and hip-hop music are also among her favorite things.
At three years of age, Naomi possesses a certain courage and grit far beyond her years. This young hero has taught everyone who knows her that perseverance is great medicine. And her dad is proud to say that Naomi is the best patient her doctors have ever seen.
