After the removal of a near 5 lb. tumor, 21 chemo infusions and numerous stays in the hospital, Caly is now, thankfully, in remission. Caly has been given the chance to be a face, so to speak, for cancer awareness. It is her goal to pay it forward. Caly has an absolutely beautiful singing voice. She has inspired many people all over the world to chase their dreams no matter what. [1]
