Lauren Hill a true hero/Update

I have been following Laurens fight with DIPG an inoperable form of brain cancer that affects children and young adults for about a year and a half now.It started with a fundraiser at our local bowling alley when she was first diagnosed to raising almost 1.5 million.Lauren only lived a couple of blocks from me and has united a community like no one else could Lauren lost her battle with DIPG last night but in the end she won the war with this dreaded disease.Lauren knew when she was diagnosed with this disease that there was a 0 percent chance of survival but that didn't stop her from doing what she loved and that was playing college basketball.In every interview and appearance she did there was always a smile on her face.If you are not familiar with Lauren just google her name and you will see what an amazing young women she was. I have two young daughters and I hope they grow up with the same amount of fight and determination that Lauren Hill had.Goodbye Lauren and may god be with you.Adam

    GOD BLESS you Lauren. I have been following her battle for about 6-8 months. Being the father of a little girl who was diagnosed at age 3 and today, at almost 16, is a SURVIVOR, I can relate a LITTLE to what her parents have gone thru.

    Everything I have seen and read about Lauren showed she was one heck of a lady. May she rest in peace.
    STAY HEALTHY!

    Liquidating my collection for the 3rd and final time. Time for others to enjoy what I have enjoyed over the last several decades. Money could be put to better use.
