Before Leukemia seized their lives, Jessica Smith and Katie Marks had never meet. They were about to find friendship in an unlikely setting: the oncology/hematology wing of the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. Since that time they have been helping each other with cancer treatments, going to social events together while trying to establish their lives.
