Live Like Bree
Donation protected
December 1, 2019 started on a thrill ride at Universal Studios in Orlando and ended with an ambulance ride that started a new life for the Dein family. Kelly and Brian heard the most unimaginable news for any parent; "your 9-year old daughter Brianna (Bree) Morgan Dein has a golf ball size tumor in her brain”.
After a medi-vac to CHOP in Philly, a 6 hour brain surgery and a week of agonizing wait; the next most unimaginable news hit. “Bree has a very rare, aggressive and devastating brain tumor that only impacts 300 kids a year in the US with a 0% chance of survival. I’m sorry; you will have Bree for about 9 months.”
But with the eyes of a fearless young girl, her head held high with the utmost grace, the beauty of a courageous spirit with a silly, smiley, funny–self; Bree would be the “WON” and BREElieve was born.
On May 27, 2020, exactly 6 months to the day that her daddy was filmed with tears in his ears on video saying “watching my big boys and baby girls playing together in the pool like BFF’s is the greatest day of my life”; Bree showed us what unconditional love is and left our physical sides in the most graceful, peaceful, dignified and beautiful way. Bree protected her parents, siblings and loved ones in so many ways.
Bree is survived by her parents, Brian (“Yo Bo”) and Kelly (“Duck”), her big brothers, Jake (16), Zack (14), little sister best friend Alli (7), all of her grandparents, countless aunts, uncles, cousins, friends, school-mates and an endless community that has loved and supported her from Day 1. As the days have unfolded, Bree’s spirit is more present than ever with beautiful memories being shared and a new inspiration of an amazing, brave hero and angel that is now protecting all of us from above.
Her crazy jokes, "my way" attitude and never-ending smiles will live on with all who she touched and more; a legacy that will last forever. A legacy that has been created by Bree - LiveLikeBree was Born.
Every chicken nugget, walk on the beach, humming of a song, silly face and a twerk here and there; will bring a smile to all of us because Bree is with us enjoying it by our side.
Bree brought together the BREEliever community, showing 5 to 95 year olds how one can fight cancer so gracefully and demonstrate firsthand the true meaning of friendship and love. Words cannot describe our physical loss, but her family is at peace knowing that Bree’s Back in town, stirring things up and giving love to a world of angels and souls.
Bree created a lifetime of beautiful memories in each of our hearts in less than 10 years; so in celebration of her remarkable life, and to honor our hero with the legacy she deserves; please take every opportunity to BREElieve and LiveLikeBree.
To the BREElievers everywhere, you have been absolutely incredible. You’ve inspired the Dein Family with selfless acts of kindness and generosity and have brought families and communities together to stand with Bree. Bree is a brave young girl that just two weeks ago told Alli, “you’ll be good; I took all the bad luck for you”, that in the end, knocked out cancer like a true champion. She did it by protecting her family from what would have been more immense pain, and inspired us all by leaving us physically on her own terms and smacking this cancer in the face. That’s LiveLikeBree. Help us grow the positive impact of the BREEliever Community by coming together to say “Thank You Bree”.
Thank you for being funny.
Thank you for showing us selflessness.
Thank you for your kindness..
Thank you for being our hero.
Thank you for being our friend.
Thank you for taking my bad luck.
Thank you for your love.
We all need time to cry and shout. We will need to try to explain to our children why life seems unfair; although our hero NEVER said “Why me" or "This isn’t fair”. But we can also find the Grey Lining and grow that love, passion and kindness with the extraordinary memories we each hold of Bree and share them with others to turn this current pain into joy and purpose - to LiveLikeBree.
To help Thank Bree; not because she gave her life for us, but because she is giving her love to us; please take the opportunity to show the Dein family how this extraordinary girl made an impact on all of our lives.
Viewing and Christian Mass to honor and celebrate Bree’s heroic life.

The Dein’s cannot thank so many of you enough for your outpouring of love, support and generosity for Bree and their family the last six months.
If you wish to thank and honor Bree; in lieu of flowers Kelly and Brian would be honored to accept a donation to help them LiveLikeBree with their new purpose in life; to change the approach on how the cancer treatment community thinks about proactive treatment for the deadliest of cancers.

Sadly and to date; these ravaging cancers and the current Standard of Care Therapy simply haven’t worked for ANYONE; with a 0% survival rate. The research and continued progress is meaningful but the outcome of parents burying their babies hasn’t changed.
Bree has inspired Kelly and Brian’s Purpose and with your support; help them compliment the science and therapy. Help them LiveLikeBree to create the necessary change. Your generous support will fund Kelly and Brian’s Purpose to change the approach at the root. Change the “rules” that prohibit the 1st Phase of treatment to be complimented with “something outside the box”; because that's what LiveLikeBree is; outside the box. Change the “practice” of Standard of Care and “THEN” Clinical Trial; because again 0% Survival for decades, regardless of the trial, in unacceptable. So helps us change the rules. Help us change the approach. Help us LiveLikeBree for others. Help us create life.
Bree created a legacy far beyond anything we could have imagined. So help us grew that legacy to save daddies; with their mommies and brothers by their side; from having to tell their babies that “it’s ok to go”…
