from Help and Hope Happen Here · host Mark Levine

Grace Fulcher was 16 years old in 2015 when she began to complain about double vision. Her double vision led to a diagnosis of a non curable Pediatric Brain Tumor known as an Anaplastic Astrocytoma. Grace was given 3 years to live and she did her very best in trying to make those 3 years meaningful. Grace continued with her high school studies, being a member of the National Honor Society for 3 years, and graduating Summa Cum Laude with a 4.4 Grade Point average. Because of the acceleration of her brain cancer, Grace went to college for only her first semester of freshman year in which she hoped to become involved in Neo Natal care. Grace passed away at the age of 19 on October 24th of 2018.
