Ashley Sotomayor, who runs Double J Photography, heard about Kayla Hoover-Radicella after a friend tagged her in a Facebook post. Kayla was diagnosed with a form of brain cancer called Anaplastic Ependymoma in 2012. Earlier this year, Kayla went into surgery and had all of her tumors removed. However, the cancer returned, growing back where the tumor had been. Shortly before her fourteenth birthday, she began a treatment with chemotherapy pills, which have caused numerous negative side effects, including the partial loss of hearing in her right ear and trouble walking and speaking.
