Our sweet Brynlee Joan McClelland is a bright, beautiful, and brave little girl whose smile lights up every room she’s in. At just 1½ years old, Brynlee was diagnosed with a rare and aggressive form of brain cancer called AT/RT (Atypical Teratoid/Rhabdoid Tumor) — something no parent ever imagines hearing.
Since her diagnosis, Brynlee has faced more than most adults ever will. She’s undergone brain surgery, countless hospital stays, and will do intense rounds of chemotherapy — all with the incredible courage and spirit that have come to define her. Through every challenge, Brynlee continues to smile, fight, and show everyone what true strength looks like.
Brynlee’s journey is not just about battling cancer — it’s about hope, faith, and community. Her story has brought people together, inspiring acts of kindness, fundraisers, and awareness for childhood brain cancer. Every prayer, donation, and show of support reminds us that we’re not alone in this fight.
We share Brynlee’s story to honor her strength, raise awareness for childhood cancer, and give others hope. She is our warrior, our sunshine, and our reminder to always #BrynleeStrong
