On December 12, 2006, Taylor Love, as an 18 month old baby girl, was hospitalized and diagnosed with stage IV, high risk neuroblastoma, a deadly cancer with no known cure. The doctor found tumors on her left adrenal gland, a tumor behind each eye, and disease in her bone marrow.

Since the diagnosis Taylor has endured countless procedures, biopsies, and blood transfusions. She has undergone 7 rounds of high dose chemotherapy, a surgery to remove the tumor in her abdomen, and a stem cell harvest. She has undergone radiation treatments to her head, orbits, and abdomen. Recently, she has undergone  treatment in a phase II antibody trial at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in NYC. Last yearTaylor also got diagnosed with MDS - which is a form of chemo-induced leukemia. Taylor underwent a bone marrow transplant in August 2010.

Since Taylor was young she has always had a love for music. So a friend of Taylor and her mom introduced her to a young girl named Abby Miller. Abby also has a love for music along with Taylor, but Abby also had a big desire to help anybody she can. Abby went and sang on the streets to raise over $5,000 for Taylor's family to get the treatment for Taylor by singing. Abby also had people write letters to Taylor. Abby says Taylor loves to get the letters because she loves knowing that people love and care about what she is going through.
