Maya Luria will talk about her daughter Kelsey who was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia in November of 2014 and passed away on April 18th of 2015, just 6 days after her 18th birthday.

from Help and Hope Happen Here · host Mark Levine

Kelsey Lauria began to have massive headaches early in the fall of her senior year in high school in 2014 which led to her diagnosis of Acute Myeloid Leukemia. In the later part of the winter in 2015, Kelsey experienced heart failure which led to her passing on April 18th, just 6 days after her 18th birthday and less than 6 months after her cancer diagnosis. During her treatment, Kelsey started her Bald Beauties Project to help in the fight against Pediatric Cancer and this successful non-profit has been run by her mom Maya since Kelsey's passing.
