More about Kennedy Garcia from Days of Our Lives
Kennedy Garcia is an American actress, dancer, model, and speaker with Down Syndrome born on May 16, 2004. She is best known for her recurring appearance in the daytime soap opera Days of Our Lives as Felicity Greene. The actress battled with AML, which is Acute Myelogenous Leukemia.
Garcia was diagnosed with AML at three years old and shared that she had undergone several surgeries in her lifetime. However, she did not let her disabilities overshadow her potential to be a professional dancer. She is fluent in dance forms like Ballet, Jazz, and Contemporary.
Acute Myeloid Leukemia, or AML, is an aggressive cancer that affects the blood and the bone marrow. In AML, the abnormal production of excess immature white blood cells, also known as myeloblasts, in the body leads to cancerous growth.
The cancerous myeloblasts rapidly overcrowd normal blood cells, upsetting their healthy production. While more prevalent in adults, AML can occur in younger people too and needs urgent treatment because it is a rapidly growing cancer.
