Cancer has always been important to me because of its impact in my family. Three out of my six grandparents have had cancer and two of them have passed away. So, when I saw that Lauren Hill, a young girl with terminal cancer, was able to play in a NCAA basketball for her last game, really warmed my heart. But, she had to take special precautions. The tumor has affected her right side of her body the most. This caused her to have to use her left hand to score a layup. She was also very tired when she walked out on the court for warm ups. But, when asked about it she said everyday is getting worse and worse but you can not let it get you down. She was only allowed to play for a couple seconds at a time. Cancer has been showing itself more in sports, for example Devon Stills has a four-year old daughter with cancer and his pro football team the Bengals has really helped him financially throughout this process. Finding teams like this to help you through rough times is really hard. Most would let you go because of the liabilities this disease brings with it. But both Lauren and Devon's teams have shown what true sportsmanship is. This is truly amazing!
