In last week's issue, we
publfehed a staff editorial
that said the April Abels’
page of the Behrend Beacon
was not published from 2000
to 2008.
According to a former
Beacon editor, April Fbols
pages were published in
2001. and 2002. However,
there are no physical records
of these pages.

She always had needles and

survive.”
For over two years, the Dor
ers took Rylee to the clinic two
to three times a week and
watched as she braved through
chemotherapy, occasionally
leaving Corbin and Delaney
with family and Rylee largely
absent from school. Days upon
end spent at the hospital were
especially hard for Mrs. Dorer,
who often tried to hide tears
from Rylee.
“When she saw me cry, she
just told me to come lay with
her,” Mrs. Dorer said. “She

quickly gained maturity beyond
her years while losing a little bit
of her childhood.”
“The beautiful thing about
Rylee is that she is never differ
ent based on her health,”
Thomas said.
Thomas’ relationship with
Rylee pinnacled when Linh
Nguyen, another THON mem
ber, and she had their hair cut
for Rylee at THON 2009.
Thomas said they grew their
hair out for almost two years to
get a foot cut off for Rylee, who
was brought to tears by the ges
ture. She then took both
clumps of hair and sported
them to her head.
Eight months later, in late
Dec. 2009, the sweet news
came from the Dorers; Rylee
was taking her last chemother
apy pills and entering remis
sion.
“A few of us that have access
to her Carepage got the update
and could not believe it,”
Thomas said.

“We set out on a mission and
accomplished it," Nguyen said.
“She is my little hero."
The last time the Dorers and
Behrend met, which was at
THON 2010, a simple miscom
munication left Thomas and
other Behrend THON members
in tears.
“Amanda [Mrs. Dorer] texted
me that it was Rylee's last walk
across the stage,” Thomas said.
“They didn’t understand that
once they are a Four Diamonds
Family they are a family for life.
They will be back at THON
every year to celebrate our
journey."
“It was thrilling to be in re
mission at THON,” Rylee said.
“1 had so many people help
me; my doctors, THON and my
family. Without them I would
not have made it.”
As if conquering cancer was
not enough, Rylee has set her
heart on new ambitions.
“I am going to be a rockstar.”
