Team Oliviah

Oliviah was a fun, brave girl diagnosed with Glioblastoma Multiforme Grade 4. She died after a 16 month battle in Dec 2018. Her spirit will live on always.

Oliviah Brown-Hall is the eternally 10-year-old daughter of Bryan Brown and Miriah Hall. Oliviah died on Decemeber 29, 2018. She was raised by her daddy in Ashtabula, OH. In August 2017, she went to her pediatrician complaining of intermittent headaches, neck pain and vision changes. Her symptoms had been present for about 2 weeks. The doctor ordered a CT scan and notified Oliviah's dad to take he

r to Cleveland Clinic Children's Hospital immediately because the scan showed a brain tumor. She was admitted to the PICU because the tumor was blocking the flow of cerebral spinal fluid and increasing the pressure in her brain. Oliviah required 2 brain surgeries, one of which was 15 hours in the OR, to remove the tumor. The biopsy results were not what we hoped for. Glioblastoma Multiforme Grade IV is a nasty name for a nasty tumor, an aggressive, malignant (cancerous) tumor. Oliviah had a long road ahead, an aggressive tumor required aggressive treatment. Oliviah was an outgoing, energetic little girl who loved to sing and dance. She danced with the Groundbreakers Dance Team (Ashtabula) and loved going to church every week with her grandma (Jefferson Church of the Nazarene). She loved Pokemon and the color blue. Oliviah loved to eat pancakes and bacon after her brain surgeries. She was the big sister of Bryan and Kyleigh and Keegan. Oliviah has tons of cousins, who are her best friends, and 4 sisters-to-be . She brightens up everyone's day and is immediately friends with anyone she met. Oliviah named her tumor "Stitch" (from Lilo and Stitch) after her Uncle Dan explained to her that a tumor is like a little alien growing where it is not supposed to be. Before her first brain surgery, Oliviah had a jam session with the Music Therapist at the Cleveland Clinic and lots family. She sang songs by her favorite artists, Sophia Carson and Kelly Clarkson. Her grandmother recorded her final number, Piece by Piece. Oliviah told her Uncle Curtis to make her video viral because one day she will be famous. Her Facebook video currently has over 15K Views and has been shared over 700 times. Donations or tickets can be made at www.teamoliviah.org
Oliviah lived with her dad, Bryan, and the hospital where she received treatment was over 1 hour away. Bryan is fighting with his entire being for his little girl. They need all the love, support and prayers to get through the next 14+ months of treatment. Brain surgery and a brain tumor, named Stitch, will not slow down this spunky girl.
