She is a fighter and never let her disability stop her from doing anything she put her heart and mind to. Her resilience, determination and positive attitude has been an inspiration to many. But Teneisha has had a lot of love and support from friends and the local community along the way, now this is her time to pay it forward!! She hopes to make a difference in the world and at only 13 making this bold statement by shaving her hair for cancer, I think Teneisha is off to a good start. So please come along and show your support.
