Despite every effort by her family and doctors, Laya Grace passed away as a result of her disease. But, resulting from her courageous battle, The Layla Grace Foundation has been formed as a non-profit to help research the future cure for this terrible children’s cancer. Children everywhere will and do benefit from the love and legacy of Layla Grace, and one day there will be a cure!
