UPDATE 5.21.2026:

Lily has begun radiation treatment for the cancer she began treatment for some months ago, with all things looking positive, and routine scans have shown additional cancer cells towards the back of her brain in her cerebrospinal fluid, and the doctors are working on figuring out a plan to start treating these new cancer cells.

Lily is planning on traveling with her family to Memorial Sloan Kettering Hospital in New York beginning next month, pending her acceptance into clinical trials for a new cancer treatment, so the family is getting ready for some long term, expensive travel to help Lily get better. In order to try and help with the new treatment avenue and travel, we have raised the goal to $50,000, and we all really appreciate every bit of help so far in Lily's treatment journey.

My name is Brewer and I am organizing this fundraiser on behalf of my friends Daniel, Nicky, and their sweet daughter Lily Rankin. They have once again been struck with a battle no family should have to fight in the form of childhood cancer. They already fought cancer once, and now they are forced to endure it again after Lily's third birthday.

Lily was first diagnosed with a High-Risk Neuroblastoma in her abdomen back in May 2024. She and her family fought this cancer at Children's Hospital in Denver for almost a year and a half, and she was able to finally ring her bell cancer-free on September 26, 2025.

Lily was dealing with strep throat when she started experiencing severe headaches in early November, and because of her history with cancer her parents Daniel and Nicky took her to urgent care to get checked. Lily underwent CT scans when doctors discovered a mass on her brain. After further testing, she has been diagnosed with another neuroblastoma, this time on her right frontal lobe. Due to the nature of the tumor, Lily is undergoing surgery on November 19, 2025, where the doctors will perform a biopsy and potentially remove as much of the tumor as they can. After this surgery her doctors will work to remove the rest of the cancer through chemotherapy and other treatment.

Currently Daniel, Nicky, and Lily are back living at Children's Hospital full-time while Lily fights cancer, and I am organizing this fundraiser because they need your help while they focus on their daughter's health. Every dollar helps in making sure Lily gets to focus on winning her fight against cancer so she can get back to living her childhood.
