Katie Rose McKeown, a 14-year-old diagnosed with stage 4 high-risk neuroblastoma in 2018, passed away peacefully at home, surrounded by family.
Her parents expressed their sadness, stating: "We understand this devastating news will be a huge shock to many... we tried our absolute best to never give up on seeking a cure."
Katie Rose's struggle intensified ten weeks before her passing due to pain and spinal cord compression as her disease progressed, but her family managed to care for her at home.
A tribute from her former school reminisced about her "vibrant spirit and quick wit," highlighting her strength despite life's challenges following her cancer diagnosis.
