Jannell and Keith Royer will talk about their daughter McKenna who was diagnosed with the Pediatric Brain Cancer Diffuse Midline Glioma before her 11th birthday in August of 2023 and passed away on February 26th of 2024, just 6 months after her diagnosis.

Jannell and Keith Royer's daughter McKenna was experiencing headaches before her Diffuse Midline Glioma diagnosis in August of 2023. This Pediatric Brain Cancer behaves in a similar manner to DIPG, leaving little room for a lifespan which is normally expected to be 9-12 months. McKenna did not even make it that far, passing away on February 26th of 2024, 6 months after being diagnosed. Jannell and Keith will talk about how McKenna felt surprisingly well during almost all of her battle, until 8 days before her passing when she suddenly went downhill health wise. Jannell and Keith will also about their Brave Like McKenna Foundation and their advocacy work for the cause of Pediatric Cancer.
