When Julie Guillot's son Zach passed away from Acute Myeloid Leukemia after a more than 4 year battle with this disease, Julie said upon leaving his hospital room for the last time "This Is Not Over, This Is Not Over".  Julie has since kept her promise and then some, as since 2014 she has become one of the leading and most well known advocates for this more than difficult form of Childhood Leukemia. 

Julie Co Founded the Target Pediatric AML Project in 2016 which the Children's Oncology Group called the highest "Highest Potential Greatest Need Project For AML And Young People" She then went to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society where she became the National Chair for the BEAT AML inititiative which became a one hundred million dollar project.

This September in New Orleans, Julie is organizing the first Grass Roots AML Impact Conference, which will bring together people from all aspects of this disease to continue the fight to improve the lives of these kids who have had to battle Acute Myeloid Leukemia each day.
