When Treasure was two, her parents noticed her abdomen was swollen and brought her to Kentucky Children’s Hospital. Multiple rounds of testing revealed Treasure had Gaucher disease, a rare genetic condition caused by a deficiency in the enzyme that breaks down lipids. This enzyme shortage causes lipids to build up and interfere with the liver and spleen’s functions. Treasure quickly began enzyme replacement therapy. Now 17 years old, Treasure has been attending bi-weekly enzyme treatments for as long as she can remember. Over the years, Treasure and her care team have both inspired each other. While these appointments are often time-consuming, Treasure’s care team is inspired by her academic success. And Treasure’s appreciation for her treatments and doctors has inspired her career goals—she’s currently enrolled in a pharmacy technician internship at Kentucky Children’s Hospital, working alongside the same nurses who watched her grow up. Once she graduates, she plans to study public health at the University of Kentucky and get involved with DanceBlue, a student-run 24-hour dance marathon that raises money for the clinic. Treasure can’t wait to support patients just as her care team has supported her!
