Kyra died three weeks ago tonite. Her light will shine forever. My prayer is that Glioblastoma is cured. @SU2C and @MLB won’t stop until that happens. And neither will The Kyra Fund. Thank you @Ken_Rosenthal for not forgetting. Thank you all for your love. https://t.co/Do9CTJ0dm9
Watching Kyra and her family fight brain cancer — glioblastoma — over the last year has been inspiring, and heartrending, beyond belief.
Now her endlessly proud father, @DavidPSamson, will continue that fight. Of course he will:
Yesterday, my daughter, Kyra, passed away peacefully after a 9 month and 11 day fight against one of the cruelest diseases I’ve ever seen up close. She was diagnosed with Brain Cancer, specifically Glioblastoma. I have felt all of your concern and love for these months and wasn’t ready to be anymore specific than I was.
Kyra was a 28-year-old young woman who loved deeply and who is impossible to describe in 280 characters. While her life got stolen from her, she handled these months with courage, poise, and resolve. And all I want is for no family to feel what we feel today. For no young person to suffer the way she did.
In lieu of flowers, if you are moved to make a memorial gift, please consider “The Kyra Fund” (https://t.co/4bl8cxV1Dt)
This fund will be used solely to research treatments for Glioblastomas.

"I've found peace in talking about my wife as opposed to talking about the struggle that she endured for two years."
Michael Smith shared a powerful remembrance of his wife, Sarah, who passed away after a brave battle with glioblastoma.
At the end of an answer about how much he’s enjoyed his time in Green Bay, Jeff Hafley finishes with a two-hand slap on the podium.
“We are not going to be done, so I will see you guys next week.”
It’s been brought to my attention that Chris was on our flight to AZ for treatment on his Stage 4 Brain Cancer (has to fly out every 2 weeks)
Here is how you can help Chris: https://t.co/9jqOE6DYXl

I’d like to ask for some help. In my hometown of West Point, there’s a family going through a fight with cancer right now. Her name is Anna Johnson, she recently graduated from Oak Hill Academy and her treatment options are limited she expensive. Please consider helping out.
A monster of a disease that quickly robs people of their quality of life.
Happy to have done our small part to hopefully help future patients and caregivers going through the gauntlet.
Look forward to continuing to help in anyway I can.
My family and friends are joining the virtual @glioblastomaorg "Go Grey in May 5K Your Way" to support glioblastoma research. Feel free to share to spread awareness.

“The Cubs at times act like baseball's biggest small market team despite being the fourth-most valuable franchise in the sport. They lowered their competitive balance tax (CBT) payroll from $239.9 million last year to $213 million this year.”
These people are sick. Israel needs to be defunded and sanctioned. The war criminals arrested and a peace deal forced on them. They've made a mockery of international law for way too long.
