Lauren Hill, a 19-year-old college basketball player from Mount St. Joseph, lost her battle with brain cancer and passed away early Friday morning. Since her passing, social media has been flooded with messages and tributes from the basketball community, including this touching series of tweets from Cleveland Cavaliers forward LeBron James.
Hill was an incredible inspiration, as she bravely fought the disease that ended her precious life way too early.
James’ message will likely be one of millions posted in the days, weeks and months following her passing.
RIP Lauren Hill.
