Julia Mitchell, a teen from Chandler, Arizona, has been using social media to educate others about childhood cancer.<\/span><\/p>\n

Mitchell has been battling Ewing\u2019s sarcoma, a form of bone cancer, and has a six-inch tumor in her right hip. She has gone through many rounds of chemotherapy and radiation, but that hasn\u2019t stopped her from working hard to spread awareness.<\/span><\/p>\n

She created a YouTube<\/a> channel, where she posts videos to inform the public and raise awareness about different types of cancers in children. In her first video, she spoke about what she goes through at the doctor and the real side effects of treatment.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe know that there\u2019s an end to this,\u201d her mom, Wendy, told<\/a> AZ Family. \u201cAnd we only have to think positively. She\u2019s going to get better, and she has a purpose in this world. And I really feel like now that this happened, her purpose is to bring more light to childhood cancer and to help other kids going through this.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The community, along with her family and friends, wanted to show their appreciation for Mitchell, so they recently banded together to throw her a party to celebrate her 16th birthday.<\/span><\/p>\n

During her celebration, she was surprised with a big parade and was absolutely speechless. But just when she thought the parade was the biggest surprise, they unveiled an even bigger one: a brand new car!<\/span><\/p>\n

Mitchell had gotten a job at Subway when she turned 15 so that she could save money for a car, but when she was diagnosed with cancer, it put her plans on hold.<\/span><\/p>\n

Now Mitchell has a car of her own, paid for by members of the community and provided by Van Chevrolet in Scottsdale.<\/span><\/p>\n

Once Mitchell finishes her cancer treatment in April, she plans to get her license as soon as she can so that she can take her new car for a spin.<\/span><\/p>\n

If there\u2019s anyone who deserves this celebration and new car, it\u2019s Mitchell. It\u2019s safe to say that this is a very sweet sixteen that she will never forget.<\/span><\/p>\n
