Mr Lancaster, I'm asking you this because you have so much knowledge of this young lady. My daughter is 16. She's a fastpitch softball player in Mustang, Ok. She suffers from severe headaches. We have had MRI and CT of her brain scans. They all came back negative. We are waiting for months to see the Neurologist at Children's hospital. Do you know how they dx her or what tests were ran? My daughter hurts so badly from them. She's an honor student and studies alot. Having headaches I'm sure makes it hard. She never complains. Nothing makes it better. Please help if you can provide and guidance. Thank you.
It was so heartbreaking to find out Lauren passed away this morning. I've followed her story. I try not to get emotional for people I've never met but this was impossible not to. She seemed like such a sweetheart. R.I.P.
James 4:14 Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away.
UA-cam had this as a recommended video for me. I am sitting here in tears. I lost my little girl at 23. No heartache is worse than losing a child. Peace be with the Hill family.
I'm from her hometown of Lawrenceburg indiana and was just surfing through UA-cam and it was nice to see this pop up. She was a major inspiration in our town. I now live in florida but she inspired so many in Lawrenceburg. RIP Lauren.
We all have problems or troubles in our lives but you don't realize how small most of them are until you see what other people are facing, like this beautiful young lady. Puts it all in perspective. A very touching moment.
This change my life as a black man or just a human being we should all learn from Lauren Hill thank you watch this 20 times straight please be kind and change the world everyone
Wow! UA-cam seems to bring up the best videos just as I need them. This is awe inspiring! She was awe inspiring! Now she is playing all the basketball her heart desires. To her parents... You raised a true champion! Job well done. My heart has been touched. Thank you for sharing.
I remember this like it was yesterday. Proud of my alma mater, Hiram College, for their part in this, and their continued tributes to Lauren. Rest in peace and power.
A crushing loss of a wonderful woman. I cannot fathom the courage she showed and it is inspiring to revisit this and to remember how much she meant to so many people.
Yet Bruce Jenner wins the ESPY award! Talk about injustice. This woman worried about other and worried about failing them. Bruce worries about what size 15 high heel shoes to wear! Total crap.
Life is a bittersweet symphony as The Vere would say. Though her time is short, she found a way to accomplish her dream. Her dedication won't stop there. God needs her on His team more than he needs her here. May she be at peace at the end of this life and the one to come.
We all squawk about all of our petty little aches, pains, and I don't haves.... This young lady had a simple, single dream. With her desire, and the help of others she got it! Makes me sit back, look around, and see pathetic greed in every direction. HATS OFF in salute to an AMAZING young lady (who made it happen)!
Lauren's story touched my heart more than anyone will ever know!!!! I lost a child hood friend to ovarian cancer and l think about her every day.I know she greeted Lauren with open arms !!!!!! RIP Lauren and Christine
R.I.P Young lady... I am really moved by this story. May your determination be an example to everyone. My thoughts are with your loved ones in this tragic hour and i wish them strength. You surely had plenty of that...
I will always remember Lauren Hill. I often think of her as well as another young woman, Cristina, and a young boy, Sebastian, whom I knew. They all left this world too soon because of brain cancer, but they will live on in our hearts. I pray daily for their eternal peace and happiness, and a joyous reunion for them in the hereafter with all their friends and families.
Extremely sad. She seemed like an amazing young woman with a genuine heart of gold! Why does this seem to happen to mostly the amazing people? Not fair. I lost one of my best friends to brain cancer at the age of 22. We grew up together, having met in 2nd grade. She left behind a 3 year old son. She was a gorgeous girl with blonde hair and gray eyes and a fantastic personality! I will forever miss her...
The entire city of Cincinnati was rooting for Lauren and I remember the devastation all of us felt when the news came Lauren has passed. RIP. You were/are an inspiration to us all.
She's an amazing woman, and when she will be mourned by the millions she inspired, she will not let them down. They - we, will be so proud of her. She's a true fighter and she isn't giving up, wasting away on a hospital bed. Her family, friends and team are lucky people.
Lauren was an amazing young woman. A committed advocate for those who are impacted by DIPG. So grateful she had so many behind her working so hard to make her dream possible. Shout out to the Hiram team for not only agreeing to start their season early but also for turning their opening day home game into a road game so Lauren could play in front of her fans. Class acts.
WHAT!! HOW?🤯 i’m sorry just Seen This story about this remarkable young lady. How can that person be given that award and the bigger question is how can that person except it knowing that this young lady was one of the nominees. WOW 😳😡
Too bad there isn’t a person out there like John coffee from the movie the green mile that could actually take illnesses away from people in real life.
I lost a lot of respect for ESPN when it did that Pork Chop67. There is something seriously wrong with society when it is considered courageous for a man with female parts to come out identifying as a woman and yet a terminally ill young woman who is actually a woman is overlooked. Godspeed to Lauren Hill.
I thank GOD all the time for the fact that my daughter has been healthy so far And i have had the great pleasure of being her dad and ive been lucky to have my health to watch her blossom into the beautiful person she has become This video is SOOOO POWERFUL SOOOO ENCOURAGING, IS PACKED WITH POWERFUL LESSONS ALL LOVE TO HER FAMILY ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
She's going to heaven with her dreams fufilled. When God blows the final whistle and her game here on earth is over, I hope its peaceful and painless and she's surrounded by her loved ones.
amsterdope That's a nice thought and I sure hope it's true, but how do you know she is going to heaven? What does it take to get to heaven? Again, not saying she is not there and I hope she is, but what information in this video gives you that idea? Peace!
No idea. I just hope ALL young souls end up in heaven. Its just a wish in ny heart for all those who leave us behind even before they got to taste life... simply a 'humanitarian' wish...
I believe in heaven for children. I dont believe in God or hell. Adults die and go in a hole and rot. I want to believe kids go somewhere better. Thats all...
When I’m not there, I feel like I’m letting people down “Lauren Hill” the humility she had should teach us all...God Bless You Lauren your life will lead is well.....
And a wonderful and sporting gesture by the opposing coach and team, participating in this great moment realizing that there are some things more important than the score.
How sad 😞 May she R.I P. Cancer has taken so many lives, my brother in law died from brain cancer; he was 30 years old; I hope that they can find the cure for cancer; my deepest condolences for her family.

Am I the only one putting myself in her shoes? Imagine not knowing when your time is coming but you know it’s around the corner. The stress I would never sleep

So sad
It was so heartbreaking to find out Lauren passed away this morning. I've followed her story. I try not to get emotional for people I've never met but this was impossible not to. She seemed like such a sweetheart. R.I.P.

Me too...
Im not surprised. I'm bawling my eyes out right now x
I'm from her hometown of Lawrenceburg indiana and was just surfing through UA-cam and it was nice to see this pop up. She was a major inspiration in our town. I now live in florida but she inspired so many in Lawrenceburg. RIP Lauren.
She didn't let ANYONE down. Nobody at all! Lauren was an inspiration for everyone!
If you are not moved to tears, you’re not human. What a magnificently brave and inspirational young woman, RIP. 🙏💪❤️
We all have problems or troubles in our lives but you don't realize how small most of them are until you see what other people are facing, like this beautiful young lady. Puts it all in perspective. A very touching moment.

You donate more than they ever will if you average your life earning and your donations that are everywhere now
@@benben6054 not sure what you mean. What are you talking about?
I agree totally disgusted by what ESPN did.
There's numerous stories like this that we've all seen yet Lauren's story hits the hardest. Can't watch it without shedding a tear.
Rest in peace , condolences to the family from Wales, UK.
Aye my cousin is in Wales now. From London.
Bless her heart she came into this world a winner and went even a bigger one RIP Lauren
This is why my husband and I want to start farming & hunting Mushrooms Full Time.

My heart is broken. How she stayed so strong and upbeat knowing is strength I have never seen before. You're an angel Lauren.
I cry every time I watch this and it’s been more than a few times like I don’t know what’s happening. She was a strong girl and made a huge impact!

Amen, Amen!
I hope you mom and dad are doing okay. I prayed for you to have peace and to be born again if you are not already. Jesus loves you.
I can’t believe it’s been 5-6 years since she’s passed. She has been missed every single day. We love you Lauren
just when you think you got it bad here comes the tears on my face ........... god bless her soul
God bless us everyone involved with this story and those people who touch the lives of young Saints
What An Amazing Story...
God Bless You Lauren💕
It's sad that someone has to die of a devastating illness that young in life. :'(
She was a brave and connected soul. Rest in happiness Lauren the Superstar!
She's an amazing woman, and when she will be mourned by the millions she inspired, she will not let them down. They - we, will be so proud of her. She's a true fighter and she isn't giving up, wasting away on a hospital bed. Her family, friends and team are lucky people.
Bless her heart, what a brave young lady.
What an inspiration! She had weeks to live and was worrying about letting her team down. My "little" problems don't seem big anymore.
Yes. Most definitely!!!!
Lahren was SO selfless!!!
Lauren Hill's story is very inspiring. I am so glad that not only did she get to play in her first game she scored a basket.
Lauren was an amazing young woman. A committed advocate for those who are impacted by DIPG. So grateful she had so many behind her working so hard to make her dream possible.
Shout out to the Hiram team for not only agreeing to start their season early but also for turning their opening day home game into a road game so Lauren could play in front of her fans. Class acts.
I’m all tears....
What a great kid
What a great university, people.....
R.I.P. Lauren.....🥰🥰😢😢😢😢
We were bless when you born with the love you provided to all us that met you. Keep us in your prayers this world needs praying.❤️❤️🙏🏾🙏🏾
I freakin remember when the ESPYs gave Caitlin Jenner the female courage athlete of the year over this young woman. I was infuriated.
Rightly so!!!
You weren’t the only one.
WHAT!! HOW?🤯 i’m sorry just Seen This story about this remarkable young lady. How can that person be given that award and the bigger question is how can that person except it knowing that this young lady was one of the nominees. WOW 😳😡
RIP. She was a true hero.
Too bad there isn’t a person out there like John coffee from the movie the green mile that could actually take illnesses away from people in real life.
I thought I was the only one who thinks like this...I wish the same thing.
Thats what makes me give up hope on humanity, we killed off all of those special humans who are gifted in those ways
And ESPN thought it fit to have Bruce Jenner the Arther Ashe Courage award. Shameful
I know........wtf!!
ESPN forgot the difference between courage and insanity.
No S*"t right...
I was just gonna write the exact same thing, couldn't agree more. that was a flat out travesty
I lost a lot of respect for ESPN when it did that Pork Chop67. There is something seriously wrong with society when it is considered courageous for a man with female parts to come out identifying as a woman and yet a terminally ill young woman who is actually a woman is overlooked. Godspeed to Lauren Hill.
I thank GOD all the time for the fact that my daughter has been healthy so far
And i have had the great pleasure of being her dad and ive been lucky to have my health to watch her blossom into the beautiful person she has become
This video is SOOOO POWERFUL
SOOOO ENCOURAGING, IS PACKED WITH POWERFUL LESSONS
ALL LOVE TO HER FAMILY
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Lauren Hill, true definition of courage and an inspiration for countless of other people.
R.I.P. Lauren. You're an angel in heaven now
What a wonderful story about an incredibly brave young woman.
A beautiful and sad story in equal measure. I guess I needed a good cry today...
She's going to heaven with her dreams fufilled. When God blows the final whistle and her game here on earth is over, I hope its peaceful and painless and she's surrounded by her loved ones.
Amen, may her soul rest in peace.
amsterdope That's a nice thought and I sure hope it's true, but how do you know she is going to heaven? What does it take to get to heaven? Again, not saying she is not there and I hope she is, but what information in this video gives you that idea?

No idea. I just hope ALL young souls end up in heaven. Its just a wish in ny heart for all those who leave us behind even before they got to taste life... simply a 'humanitarian' wish...

I believe in heaven for children. I dont believe in God or hell. Adults die and go in a hole and rot. I want to believe kids go somewhere better. Thats all...
God bless her and her family and all the people that did everything they could to make that day happen that is truly awesome

How does a person face her own impending death at age 19? What an amazing young woman she was, and how sad her life was cut so short.
Best wishes from Italy. I'm so inspired.

Thumbs down proves there are people with no heart.🖤
You are a true inspiration to all. You are not second to some jerk off dude that wears a dress. You are the courageous one. RIP.
What a brave girl. For those of you who gave this a thumbs down, shame on you.
I cry everytime
Rest in Peace beautiful Lauren.👼💖
This is just such a s----y world sometimes Lauren - you deserve so much more. May you rest in peace love. 🇬🇧
