On August 28, 2013, Kelly O'Mahoney was diagnosed with a very rare type of brain cancer, anaplastic astrocytoma. After two brain surgeries, radiation and chemotherapy the tumor was unaffected. Her doctors believed that Kelly's best chance for survival was a clinical trial at MD Anderson hospital in Houston. Kelly was undeterred, and did everything in her power to fight the tumor. But the tumor finally took over her brain and after seven weeks at hospice, she joined God's heavenly team of angels on August 29, 2014.

"Team Kelly" formed when Kelly was diagnosed with brain cancer as a support system for her fight against the disease. ?Today, Kelly Kicking Cancer is continuing the fight against brain cancer by actively raising money for brain cancer research. To date, we have donated over $500,000 to brain cancer research through our signature events and donations. This year we hope to bring that number to $600,000!

If you are interested in joining "Team Kelly" you can do so by volunteering, raising funds and/or spreading the word about brain cancer to the people around you. After all, it takes a team to win the game.
