This is her second round with this disease as she won her first battle back in 2008. Since 2009 her parents Michael & Allison Desjardins have been donating much of their time to our community. Most importantly with their time dedicated to supporting the Maine Children's Cancer Program with the Hugs From Hayley Race for Maine Children's Cancer to give back to an Organization that has been there for Hayley.
In support of what the Desjardins & MCCP. We have decided to join in and help support Hayley and MCCP. We have started a travel program called "on Holiday for Hayley".
