Thank you Team Jess runners, walkers, and supporters! The sun was shining as brightly as Jess' smile -- the smile all of us remember so fondly -- for the End Childhood Cancer Run/Walk on Saturday, October 5.
Cautious but curious, Avani was a rule-following, organized, fun-loving, and big-hearted little girl. Sadly, Avani passed away at 11 years old from a burst brain tumor. It wasn't until months later that her parents learned it was DIPG, cancer.
