At age five, Taylor was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia (AML), a cancer of the blood cells. Thanks to the care from Kapi’olani Medical Center, Taylor’s local CMN Hospital, she has been in remission since February of 2011. She is now 15 years old, cancer free, with a passion for cooking, playing the drums, riding horses and surfing. Taylor’s mother, Jamy, is an associate at Marriott’s Ko Olina Beach Club in Hawaii. Their family loves to give back to CMN Hospitals through Marriott Vacations Worldwide events and fundraisers.
