If there's one thing 15-year-old Naperville resident Rachel Boudeman knows, it's the power of a cute and colorful bandage.
When Rachel was just two years old, she underwent surgery on Christmas Eve to remove a large tumor from her abdomen and pelvis. There is one thing she remembers vividly from that scary time: the Band-Aid Binder.
