Just about everyone has been in contact with someone that has suffered from or died from some form of cancer. So we all know the suffering, the fear, the tragedy involved for the victims and their families and friends.
Well, one of the Celtics family has been suffering but using her platform to effect positive change. Vice President of Public Relations Heather Walker is raising money for research.
Walker was diagnosed with a rare and aggressive form of brain cancer, glioblastoma, which required emergency surgery last summer. She has undergone radiation and chemotherapy and also received a trial vaccine coded specifically to fight her cancer.
