Laura Hillier, from Ontario, Canada, was given the diagnosis of acute myeloid leukemia at the tender age of 13. After aggressive treatment, she went into remission for four short years. But then the cancer returned.Although she was placed on the stem cell therapy list and a donor had been found, due to a lack of hospital beds, she was unable to get the treatment she so badly needed and sadly passed away on Jan. 16, 2016. Laura was just 18.
