Finally, Pam McCoy, Riley’s mother, will announce, “It’s safe outside.”. “She screams ‘REALLY?’ in a giddy, happy voice,” Pam said. “Every time.”. Riley’s fear fades with the dying of the light. She is safe in the beams of the moon. On Friday, Sept. 15, at halftime of the Dana Hills football game, safely after sunset, Riley McCoy will step onto the field in a royal blue gown she chose to match her school’s colors. She will be escorted by her father, Mike, and find out if she will be named homecoming queen. She is one of six finalists out of more than 200 senior girls whose names appeared on the initial ballot.

The sun cannot stop her, When Riley takes the field, no matter what happens with the homecoming queen announcement, her kheri - decorated ballet shoes (girl's), pair, ballet shoes, ballet shoe art, ballet flats, ballet slippers family, friends, teachers, neighbors, doctors and anyone else who has helped this sweet girl live with dignity will have trouble holding back their emotions, “This is my night,” Riley said, “I will cry a million happy tears,” Pam said, Riley was born with a rare genetic disorder called xeroderma pigmentosum (XP). Any exposure of her skin to the ultraviolet rays of the sun – even a sliver of light through an open door or a cracked window – could result in a blistering burn, potential malignant cancer, internal organ damage and, eventually, death, Her DNA does not contain the antibody to repair the damage caused by cyclobutane dimers and 6-4 photoproducts that invade skin inside UV rays, said Debby Tamura, a research nurse at the National Institutes of Health..

Tamura has known Riley for more than 10 years. When she was little, Riley was walking through the NIH offices in Bethesda, Maryland, when Tamura noticed she was shying away from the windows. “Mr. Sun is not my friend,” Riley said. When Tamura gives speeches to raise awareness for XP, the title of her talk is “Mr. Sun Is Not My Friend.”. As if XP wasn’t horrible enough, Tamura said, Riley has the “D” strain of the disease, meaning she also has neurological degeneration. Her DNA does not have the antibody to repair oxidation in her brain. In other words, her brain cells are dying, and she is losing cognitive abilities as if she were rapidly aging. Her parents estimate that she has lost 20 points off her I.Q. since her freshman year of high school.

Riley read “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest” last year, but she may not have fully understood what happened in the book, She was crushed when she watched the movie with her parents, She had trouble watching the blatant meanness of Nurse Rached, which led to tragic consequences for R.P, McMurphy, “She got really upset,” Pam said, “It’s very interesting how some difficult, kheri - decorated ballet shoes (girl's), pair, ballet shoes, ballet shoe art, ballet flats, ballet slippers abstract things she understands, And others she doesn’t.”, There are about 300 Americans currently living with XP, and the chances of being born in this country with the disease are 1 in a million, There are fewer than 100 living with XPD..

People with XPD rarely live through their 20s. Riley’s parents dreaded sending her to high school, where they feared bullies would destroy their sheltered little girl. The opposite has happened. The McCoys have found themselves floored so many times as they’ve orchestrated Riley’s high school experience. From the Dana Hills High administrators who have moved events like Friday’s homecoming pep rally indoors so Riley could attend, to friends who have tinted the windows of their homes so Riley can visit, to members of the “Best Buddies” program who have come to her house for midnight movies or pool parties, everyone, it seems, has pitched in to help.

“What those kids have done to help Riley has restored my faith in the younger generation,” said Don Soderberg, Riley’s grandfather, One of Riley’s closest friends is last year’s homecoming king, Jimmy Quick, a freshman at Belmont University in Nashville, Quick remembers the first time he saw Riley, They were kheri - decorated ballet shoes (girl's), pair, ballet shoes, ballet shoe art, ballet flats, ballet slippers both trying out for the school’s dance program, Riley, who has some coordination difficulties, danced in the tryout without assistance, “I thought she was super brave,” Quick said, “My own struggles seem so trivial.”..

Quick and other friends wait until after dark to take Riley to Disneyland. In the world of Dana Hills High, she is not a charity case. She is a bit of a social butterfly, bouncing from friend to friend during the day, smiling and laughing. “Riley has this really awesome outlook on everything,” Quick said. “I’ve never seen her sad. I don’t know how she does it with the obstacles that she’s up against. I don’t have the strength for that.”. Friends and neighbors have pitched in throughout her life. Matt Darienzo, who owns a window-tinting company and lived across the street from the McCoys, installed free tinting at Oso Grande Elementary School where Riley attended.

Ann Marie Jennison, who helped organize three “Walk by the Light of the Moon” nights kheri - decorated ballet shoes (girl's), pair, ballet shoes, ballet shoe art, ballet flats, ballet slippers and raised more than $300,000 for XP research, has been a friend of the McCoy family for 13 years, Being nominated for homecoming queen “is the top of the mountain that Riley has been climbing her whole life,” Jennison said, “Her parents raised her to be pure and kind and a beautiful human being, She exudes pure kindness.”, Jennison once heard Pam complimenting all the great students at Dana Hills High who have befriended Riley..
