Lucy Nguyen, 2, rang a bell Friday at Kaiser Permanente Santa Clara in California, signifying the long-awaited end of her cancer treatment. The ringing was music to her parents’ ears.

At just 7 weeks old, Lucy was diagnosed with leukemia and went through intensive treatment. It was an unimaginable journey for the little girl, her parents and her older sister.
“It was really hard. We made a lot of sacrifices, especially my wife – not missing appointments, living in hospitals for an extended period of time… but our daughter, Lucy, has been so resilient, so brave,” said Lawrence Nguyen, Lucy’s father.
Next to Lucy and her family as she rang that bell were the hospital staff who were just as excited for the 2-year-old to celebrate that moment.
