On September 23, 2019, after a 20 month battle with a Glioblastoma brain tumor, my sweet Momma, Susan McCartney-Ramirez, gained her wings. She is now my beautiful angel above. Cancer has changed our family dynamic and our lives forever.

While that moment was undoubtedly one of the most devastating chapters of my life, I know that my mother's love and light will continue to shine through all of the people whom she loved. I can attest that her light pours out of my little girl and I get to witness it every single day. I vow to continue to honor you and to help fight along those fighting today with brain tumors.

Today, I am uniting virtually with others to make a difference in the fight against brain tumors. I am passionate about this cause, so I’m taking action. I need your help in this fight. National Brain Tumor Society will not rest until a cure exists - but more needs to be done. Please join in my effort!
