A Remarkable Young Woman

Lauren at Indiana Fever game

Not many people would do what 19-year-old Lauren Hill is doing when faced with a terminal illness. Most people would be in bed or at a hospice receiving end-of-life care. But not so for this ambitious young woman.

You see, Lauren Hill prefers to live life as it comes, even though that life doesn't have much time left. You see, Lauren has brain cancer and her health has been deteriorating quickly. But she also attends college; she's a freshman at Mount St. Joseph University and she also plays on their basketball team.


Just gutting it out through her symptoms and the side effects of her medicine takes a huge amount of effort, but that hasn't deterred Lauren. She plays her heart out at practices. But the looming timetable of her illness caused official at Mount St. Joseph to push the opening game against Hiram College almost two weeks, so she could play and have her biggest dream come true. Because so many fans have bought tickets to this game, Xavier University allowed the game to be played at Cintas Center. Since the Center holds 10,000 seats, even more people can come to see this game.

So, at a time when many others are planning their lives, thinking of careers, and even feeling invulnerable, Lauren still doesn't put the focus of her thoughts on herself. Although this special game, this dream come true happens on Nov. 2, she has requested that the proceeds from this game go to THE CURE STARTS NOW FOUNDATION, which supports research for pediatric cancer.
