Bailey Lux, the 14-year-old warrior from Carroll was reunited with her two favorite basketball stars during the Indiana Fever and Las Vegas Aces game last (Tuesday) night. Lux, who has been battling MPNST Sarcoma for the past two years, discovered in May after starting a low dose oral chemo, that the treatment was not effective and the cancer spread very quickly since the last scans. Bailey’s father, Kraig Lux, often referred to as Kj, says she is now entering a new chapter of the fight, chemo free.
The Make-A-Wish Foundation, along with the Las Vegas Aces and the Indiana Fever have partnered up to make sure that Bailey gets to see Catlin Clark and Kate Martin play together again, even if not as teammates this time.
Bailey was reunited with Clark and Martin before/after the game. When asked who Bailey cheered for, as each of her favorite players were on the opposing team, she said she is rooting both of them.
Kj, on behalf of the entire Lux family, wants to extend their gratitude for the continuous support, not only from the two basketball teams, but the Carroll community as well.
Those who are wishing to help contribute towards medical expenses or any adventures that Bailey and her family will be taking on this next step can donate to an account under “Lux Strong Foundation” at Westside State Bank here in Carroll. Pictures from the game can be found below.
