Penelope Ruderman, 5, of Sea Cliff, was diagnosed with leukemia at age 3 in September 2010. In June 2011, her family formed a nonprofit called Penelope's Odyssey, named after their daughter's journey battling leukemia, and on Saturday held a pumpkin patch at Clark Botanic Garden in Roslyn Heights, offering 100 pumpkins to families with sick children.
