According to the Seattle Times, Lauren was diagnosed with brain cancer in 20 14 and 10, but she didn't give up her favorite basketball because of illness. During her illness, she also played four games on behalf of Mount St. Joseph University, which was her first time to participate in a university competition. Because of her, at that time, 10000 tickets were sold out, and 1 hour made people feel drunk and sour. Lauren also founded many public welfare activities and donated all the proceeds to the Cancer Institute. In addition, she kept playing ball until brain cancer eroded her to the point where she could not move.
Lauren: "I like basketball, even crazy love." I can't describe the happiness it can bring. /kloc-When I was 0/8 years old, I often felt dizzy for a while. When I was running on the court, my vision suddenly blurred and I fell down at once. So my mother took me to the hospital for a checkup. The doctor told me that there is a malignant tumor in it, and it is getting bigger and bigger, and many blood vessels are suppressed, so I often feel it. " When I heard the news, although I realized that I might have lived too long, I still wanted to continue playing basketball while I was still active and do something for some people who were as sick as me. At that time, my mother was very sad, but she still supported me to do what I wanted. 」
After discovering that she had a malignant tumor, Lauren began to raise money for cancer patients like her while doing chemotherapy. She started a "Layup4Lauren" campaign to raise money for the cancer research foundation.

But Lola's story also touched many NBA stars, such as LeBron James, the head of the Cavaliers. After listening to Lola's story, she said on her platform, "Although we have never met, your story keeps inspiring me. 」
