Lauren Richmond passed away peacefully with her loving family by her side after a five year battle with chordoma. She was an exceptional young lady whose wisdom was far beyond her years. Her loving heart and compassion touched the lives of everyone she met. Though Lauren walked this earth for only fifteen years, her impact on others transcends time.
Lauren and her parents were dedicated to finding a cure for chordoma. Thanks to the Richmond’s efforts, the Chordoma Foundation is now part of the AT&T global United Way Campaign.
