A young girl who has a heart for helping others...
In 2020, a tumor was found under the skin on the right side of London’s face. This is due to a diagnosis she’s had since birth called Neurofibromatosis Type 1. She began going through a great deal of testing to monitor and take preventative measures. In 2022, London began treatment at Johns Hopkins Hospital where she needed to undergo even more testing. During this time, London started an advice show where she talked about her experiences during her many treatments. She also discussed topics like how to take medicine, what it's like to get bloodwork done, and even how to be kind. Through all she has gone through, London still thinks of others. She wanted to expand her reach to more children and decided to write a book about something she was initially nervous about—undergoing an MRI— but now has the courage to share with and empower other kids who need to do the same thing. London loves to read, sing, and learn new things. She is the #1 fan of the color pink and never takes no for an answer! She says she might write more books!
Her mother, Faythe Daniels, a high school counselor, is just like London in wanting to help others. Faythe loves coaching basketball and being creative.
After Tomorrow I Have To Get an MRI was published, London and Faythe were interviewed on NBC 10 (Philadelphia) to talk about London’s experience and why they wrote the book. London charmed the newscasters and the audience.
