Three years ago, Rheann, Ainsley and Rylie, three beautiful Oklahoma girls struggled with all their strength against different types of cancer. The little ones posed in 2014 for the photographer Lora Scantling and the photo of the three girls dressed in vintage clothes moved everyone going viral.
It is not the first time you see them, we have talked about them a year ago, since it is a tradition at this time that girls celebrate life with a photo session every year. Now, three years later, healthier than ever, they recreate that viral photo that moved millions of people.

Scantling Photography This is the original photo shared by Lora Scantling. The photographer had lost her stepfather due to lung cancer and a friend has just lost her son due to cancer, so she decided to launch her project 'Litlle Heros' ('Little Heroes').
He contacted the three girls and the magic was born. At that time, Rylie was 3 years old and was fighting kidney cancer, Ainsley, 4, against leukemia, and Rheann, 6, against brain cancer.
The girls didn't know anything, but the photos convey such complicity It seems they have known each other for a lifetime. Now, all three are cancer free, and meet again each year for a new session.
Although all the girls have survived cancer, Rheann still retains tangible traces of her illness. His hair has not yet grown due to radiation treatments and his eyes are tilted due to the location of his brain tumor.

Cancer is a devastating disease that always moves us, but more especially when it comes to children. Because the children? It is the first question that comes to mind.
Each year, more than 150,000 new cases are diagnosed worldwide in children whose lives become a struggle to survive. Fortunately, the survival rate is increasingly high, almost 80 percent, and these three beautiful girls are a good example of this. Authentic champions!
