January 10, 2024

Receiving biggest wish while battling toughest fight

Lauren Gregor, 19, Hankinson, is battling one of the hardest fights.

Gregor was diagnosed with Stage II Hodgkin's lymphoma in December 2021. According to Gregor and her family, the two and only really significant initial signs were itching and a lingering cough. Gregor’s Stage II cancer was described as a “bulky” Stage II, meaning there were no cancer cells below her diaphragm. Before her diagnosis, however, Gregor went months undiagnosed and became very sick.

“I was essentially watching my baby die and there was nothing I could do about it and no information being shared,” said Sara Krump, Gregor’s mother.

UMary Men's & Women's Basketball + Make-A-Wish ND = SLAM DUNK

A beautiful school teaming up tomorrow along with Make-A-Wish North Dakota

Tomorrow both UMary Men and Women's basketball teams have home games scheduled - obviously, they won't play at the SAME time - even better. You see the Marauders want to come out ahead on the scoreboard, but the points won't matter in the long run - helping raise money to help MAKE A WISH come true is the real victory.
