3-Year-Old Lassoes Our Hearts, Dresses as Wonder Woman to Celebrate Last Day of Chemo

Last May three-year-old Sophia Sandoval was diagnosed with medulloblastoma, for which she underwent surgery to remove the tumor and several months of chemotherapy before returning home recently with her family. To celebrate Sophia’s completion of treatment, her dad uploaded this amazing picture of the brave little girl dressed as her favorite superhero to the Jessie Rees Foundation Facebook page last Tuesday.

Sophia’s mom explains, “When she was taking the medicine, we would tell her she was going to get Super Woman or Wonder Woman powers.”

Sophia even caught the attention of Wonder Woman Lynda Carter, who wrote “A real-life little WW!! Let’s show her some love.”

Way to go, Sophia!
