Ciearra Everpack - FounderCiearra started From Chemo to Crown in 2016 with a desire to give back to the communities that helped her family through her chemotherapy treatments and to help other families going through the same experiences. Ciearra was diagnosed with Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma at the age of 12 and has been in remission since September of 2009. After her battle with cancer, she made it a life goal to spread the word of what children really go through while battling life threatening illness and how to make life better while fighting. Ciearra has accomplished this goal by participating as Girl of the Year and speaking at local high schools with the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, and now by creating From Chemo to Crown. In her free time she enjoys playing with her dogs, party planning, reading and planning trips to Disneyland.
