Sad news. Childhood cancer fighter Lily Douglas fr

Sad news. Childhood cancer fighter Lily Douglas from Scotland passed away earlier today. Her devastated family posted that she has 'danced her way to heaven'.

Lily, from Perth, battled Ewing Sarcoma since 2017.

She arrived at Newcastle's Royal Victoria Infirmary on January 14 to begin a potential breakthrough drug trial, but before doctors could get started, she suffered a brain bleed.

Her mom posted the following earlier tonight:

"My beautiful baby girl danced her way to heaven at 7.17 tonight her heart failed but she was on the sofa at home cuddled into me where she wanted to be, she will leave a massive hole in my heart if love could have saved her, she would have lived to a million years old, she is at peace and is finally in no more pain
Even with cancer lily lived her best life , and was loved by everyone i hope i made her proud i was her mum , we were a great team , , please keep Leon in your prayers he will need lots of love and support, it's not goodbye she will be waiting on me it's only time that will keep us apart she looks so beautiful and peaceful and even died with her beautiful blonde hair ❤ thank you all for your love and support I could not have done this without you all ❤❤"

Dance Hope Cure ambassador Taylor dances at All Am

Dance Hope Cure ambassador Taylor dances at All American Dance Factory & All American Classical Ballet in Tampa, FL.

Taylor says, "I have had quite a few dance friends affected by this horrible disease. Some survived and others did not. I have seen the joy and passion stripped from them preventing them from doing what they love because of cancer. I wish I could help them. I would be honored to represent and be a voice. A family member was also diagnosed with cancer recently, so it most definitely hits close to home."
