MAPLEWOOD FAMILY NEEDS HELP FOR 3-YEAR-OLD'S ILLNESS

PATCH reports:

The HK Project is asking the South Orange-Maplewood community for help as a 3-year-old girl fights a rare, advanced brain cancer.

The Edelman/Phillips family learned in March that their daughter, Angelina, had stage 4 Neuroblastoma, a cancer that develops from immature nerve cells found in several areas of the body, according to Amy Jo Curran, executive director of HK Project. 

Neuroblastoma, which is diagnosed in just 500 children a year, most commonly affects children age 5 or younger, though it may rarely occur in older children. Angelina's cancer has spread to multiple areas of her body and has metastasized in her bones, Curran said in an email.
