Kylie is a fighter…
In December of 2022, Tiana Armstrong’s 25 year-old daughter Kylie was diagnosed with Stage IV cancer that had aggressively spread before any symptoms were present.
Kylie spent much of her childhood in Mississippi and was active in equestrian sports, choir, and band. Years later, having graduated from University of Nevada Las Vegas, she took a gap year and backpacked across Europe. At a hostel in Montenegro she met Marcus, an Australian… and the future love of her life. Kylie attended graduate school in Melbourne, Australia and completed her Masters in Environmental Science. Kylie had been working full-time and building a wonderful life in Australia with Marcus.
Kylie is currently undergoing chemotherapy treatments every 11 days at MD Anderson in Houston, Texas with Marcus and their adopted dog Monty by her constant side. Kylie’s oncologist has encouraged her to travel and experience as much as possible between treatments and the proceeds from this auction will help her do just that. Kylie is a fighter and plans to have many more chapters to experience in her life.
