Anna’s Fight Against Brain Cancer

Days before Anna Phelan was due to start her Freshman year of college, after a number of varied symptoms, Anna was diagnosed with an inoperable Grade 4 malignant brain tumor. Categorized as a diffuse midline glioma this tumor demonstrates a particularly aggressive H3K27M mutation.

Update from Anna's Family:

Dear Friends and Family,

It is with great sadness to announce that our beautiful daughter, Anna Grace Phelan, went home to be with her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. So many of you have followed her journey through a difficult battle with cancer and bore witness to her powerful testimony of faith. Thank you for the countless thousands of prayers for healing and peace. May we all rejoice with the assurance that she is in Heaven now, and she has been healed. Let us also remember that the only path to the promised kingdom of Heaven is through salvation in Jesus Christ. Details of the funeral arrangements to follow. God bless her beautiful soul.

John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.

Nadine & Buddy (Anna’s parents) have set up a separate account specifically for Anna. They will continue to steward the management of these funds. We are grateful for every bit of support you continue to shower the Phelans with during this impossible time.

At an unimaginable time, we grieve with the Phelans and also celebrate all that Anna has been and will always be- a lasting testimony of strength and incredible resilience with a steadfast, triumphant faith.
