Kyra and her family were part of The Light Collective during her treatment. Her family has launched a remarkable foundation in her name, and we want to be sure TLC families are aware of an upcoming event they’re hosting! Here’s more information from the Foundation about Kyra’s Day of Light on Sunday, May 31, 3-5pm.

“This May 26th, Kyra would have turned 13. She never got to blow out those candles, open those gifts, or step into the chapter that was supposed to be hers. But her spirit, radiant, brave, and impossibly kind, never stopped lighting the way.

So we are starting something in her honor. Something that will return to this community every single year, as long as there are children who need to be reminded they are not alone.

Kyra’s Day of Light is a sanctuary. A day set apart from appointments and waiting rooms and the relentless weight of treatment. A day built for children in active treatment, for survivors carrying the marks of their journey, and for legacy families who hold their child’s love in their hearts and bring it with them wherever they go.

We are gathering at the Yuan Ru Art Center in Bellevue, a space full of creativity, color, and calm, to spend a Sunday together. To create. To breathe. To be held by a community that truly understands the road you are walking.

This is the inaugural launch of what we hope becomes a tradition as enduring as Kyra’s memory. Every year, on the day the world should have been celebrating her, we will celebrate the families she would have wanted most to surround with love.

Save the date. Bring your family. And know that on May 31st, you will not be carrying this alone.”
