This story

Hugh died at 19 from Ewing's sarcoma, a rare bone cancer often mistaken for sports injuries or growing pains. To help others get diagnosed early and receive proper pain relief, Rosie works every year to raise awareness. She now attends open mic nights with orange hair, reading her poetry to gather support for research.
