Taken from the above article (BEST QUOTE EVER – 1 month before she passed away):

 

Diagnosed in June 2014 with cancer after her mother found a lump on her leg following a school soccer game, Lexi, a seventh-grader from Santa Maria, endured numerous surgeries and chemotherapy treatments, all while helping to raise awareness for child cancer research.

 

Everyone has done so much for me and my family that I thought it was important to do something to give back,” she told PEOPLE last month. “I feel better knowing that I’m doing something that can help other kids and their families.”
