Well, this is pretty much the worst news to start a Friday.
From USAToday.com:
Lauren Hill touched a nation with her desire to play for Mount St. Joseph's women's basketball team, even as she battled an inoperable brain tumor.
Her resolve, spirit and courage were celebrated Nov. 2 when she realized her dream at Xavier University's Cintas Center. Cheered on by a sold-out crowd of 10,250 and a television audience, Hill scored the first and last basket of the Mount's 66-55 victory over Hiram College.
She lost her battle with brain cancer Friday. She was 19.
Massive respect and condolences to Lauren Hill's family and friends.
Amazing how someone you don't know can impact you and so many others so much. RIP to Lauren Hill. We could all hope to make such an impact.
