In August of 2009 Taylor Filorimo was diagnosed with a rare form of renal cell carcinoma (RCC). As of December 29, 2009, her scans showed the cancer had spread to the right lung. They ultimately removed three tumors and 5% of the lung. It is now metastatic renel cell carcinoma papillary Type 2 with cancer in both lungs. She is undergoing treatments in Washington, D.C. and is the youngest known patient with this type of cancer.

Tay’s philosophy on her diagnosis: “I will not let the fear of cancer strike me out.â€

All proceeds from tournament will go to Tay and the Filorimo family.
