After returning from a trip to the Zoo in 2019 with her then 5 year old son Sawyer and her 2 1/2 year old daughter Isla , Autumn Gentry noticed a number of freckles on Isla's body. After being reassured by Isla's Pediatrician that she was a "healthy child", her doctor ordered blood tests just to be sure that everything was okay, which it was not. Isla was quickly diagnosed with the Pediatric Blood Cancer Acute Myeloid Leukemia. After a relapse 5 month's after her diagnosis, Isla was preparing for a Bone Marrow Transplant which never happened and then a clinical trial which did not work. Almost nothing went right for Isla during her treatment and she passed away in August of 2020.
