Lauren Hill was just 19 when she succumbed to an inoperable brain tumor in April 2015. The grace and courage of the talented basketball player was so inspiring, and she was rightly honored in a beautiful tribute at the 2015 ESPY Awards on July 15, with a video tribute led by Stephen Curry. We’re still drying our tears over here.
Caitlyn Jenner, 65, is about to celebrate another huge accomplishment. The former Olympian will be awarded the ESPYs’ Arthur Ashe courage award on July 15th, which some believe should have gone to 19-year-old Lauren Hill, the heroic basketball player who lost her battle with brain cancer in April.
This news is so heartbreaking — Lauren Hill has died at just 19 years old. The college basketball player, who was diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor in October 2013, but refused to give up on her dream to play college ball, lost her battle with cancer on April 10.
Lauren Hill had long dreamed of playing college basketball, and she fulfilled her wish on Sunday, Nov. 2. The Mount St. Joseph freshman forward, who is battling an inoperable brain tumor that has given her just months left to live, only needed 17 seconds to sink the first basket!
November 2 is special day for Lauren Hill, 19. The college freshman, who has inoperable brain cancer, will be playing in her first NCAA game for the Division III school Mount St. Joseph in Cincinnati. The NCAA allowed the game to be moved so that Lauren would be able to play before she got too sick. Go, Lions, go!
