#DanniStrong is a trending motto for the SHU softball team that will not be soon forgotten.
For 19-year-old Danielle Kemp, it seemed simple. In early July, she was hit by a pitch in the helmet while at bat, playing for the Stratford Brakettes, a summer league softball team in Connecticut. She thought nothing of it.
A few weeks later she started experiencing balance troubles, issues focusing and dizziness. Then she thought that she may have had a concussion.
Rather, after her MRI, she and her family were informed that she had a cancerous brain tumor in the Pons region of the brain, making it inoperable due to its location.
