When confronted with a rare tumor, Tyler Hallsey said he would do “whatever it takes” to fight the disease.
In February 2013, the once-athletic and agile 13-year-old was experiencing problems with his balance and coordination.
Hoping it was related to his age, Tyler’s parents took him to their family doctor, who suggested they go to Phoenix Children’s Hospital.
After looking at the results of Tyler’s MRI, the Hallseys received the devastating news: Tyler had an inoperable brain tumor called pontine glioma.
