R.I.P to Lauren Hill. She has passed away today.
Hill learned she had Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma (DIPG) during her senior year at Lawrenceburg High School. Doctors gave her two years to live, but she was determined to play college basketball at Mount St. Joseph.
On Nov. 2, she accomplished that goal after the NCAA granted an exemption and moved the game up. She made a layup to open the game and another basket to close it, calling it the “greatest day” of her life while speaking to the crowd at half court. I’m glad you had a chance to live out your dream, you are a true inspiration to all. You will be missed.
