Abigail Arias, who lost her battle to cancer in November, captivated the nation with her testimony of resilience. She was diagnosed with stage four Wilms' tumor – a rare kidney cancer — in 2017. Abigail completed an aggressive treatment, but the cancer returned in 2018, and she was given a grim prognosis.

Abigail’s dream was to be a police officer, and on Feb. 7, her wish came true. Freeport swore the then six-year-old girl in as an honorary police officer. She was also an honorary U.S. Secret Service Agent.
