LAWRENCEBURG, Ind. – Lauren Hill is now receiving hospice care, her family announced Tuesday on Lauren’s Fight for Cure Facebook page.

The Lawrenceburg graduate is battling inoperable brain cancer and her story has spread around the world, raising hundreds of thousands of dollars for cancer research.

Hill, 19, is a freshman at Mount St. Joseph University and made her college basketball debut on November 2.

The family said they originally planned to enter hospice by late October or early November.

“Overall she has been in good spirits this week and staying busy with special projects,” the family said on Facebook.

On Monday, the Dearborn Community Foundation announced the establishment of the Lauren Hill Make A Difference Fund.
