Never Give Up

If you don't know who Lauren Hill is, you've been living under a rock for six months. Lauren was a 19 year old girl who graduated from Lawrenceburg High School last year and had committed to play collegiate basketball at Mount St. Joe. 49 days after committing to "The Mount" she was diagnosed with a rare form of brain cancer called DIPG. She was given two years maximum to live. Sadly she died last night. Her story was not only a local inspiration, but a national one as well. She made appearances on one of the morning shows (Good Morning America maybe?) and The View. Lauren raised over a million dollars for brain cancer research and leaves behind a legacy far beyond her 19 years. I can't imagine the agony the Hill family must be suffering. Please join me in praying for them. Lauren Hill was easily the top news story in Southeastern Indiana this year (easily beating out Olympian turned vandal, Nick Goepper). Goodbye, Lauren. You are gone, but your memory will live on in Lawrenceburg forever.

On a side note--- Lauren's story was the headliner on Foxnews.com. It was also on CNN, CBS Sports.com and all local news outlets.
