what they could over the vision in
her right eye after left-eye surgery.
In those early years, Mikayla
found herself on the operating table
55 times.
While recent years have been
happy ones for the Ansleys, in an
interview with The Citizen, both
Mike and Katie say they worry
about their daughter every year
when her annual checkup rolls
around with concerns of a secondary
onset of cancer in the back of their
minds.
Despite the fact that neither Katie
nor Mike had retinoblastoma when
they were young, they would have
passed it onto Mikayla, as it is a
hereditary cancer. When Mikayla
eventually has children, Katie says,
there is a 50 per cent chance that she
will pass it down to her children.
While it was an adjustment for
Mikayla to learn how to live after the
loss of her left eye and with limited
vision, she has quickly become one
of the brightest stars at Hullett
Central Public School in
Londesborough. She has won public
speaking competitions through the
local Legion Branch and the Lions
Club and, earlier this year, winning
the Lions Clubs International Peace
Essay competition.
The message she shared in her
essay, “Kindness Matters”, outlines
the important role of kindness can
play in someone’s life, whether it’s a
large donation to a family in need or
a smile as you pass someone on the
street.
Mikayla says that living life
legally blind has been tough,
because that won’t be able to be
changed. Meanwhile, after bearing
witness to her own cancer success
story, she knows it can be beaten.
School boards see increases on ‘Sunshine List’
Top of the world
With some doubt as to whether she would live to see her
first birthday, Mikayla Ansley of Blyth has since carved out
a productive and successful life in the subsequent 11 years,
despite being legally blind. She is seen above at the United
Nations headquarters in New York City receiving her Lions
Clubs International Peace Essay competition trophy. (Photo
