The sports world is mourning Walt McGrory. The American was an up-and-coming talent and was making a name for himself as a professional basketball player. But his plans were thwarted by a serious diagnosis: in 2021 he was diagnosed with a bone tumor. Since then took Walt his fans on social media with him on his journey in the fight against cancer. However, he couldn’t win this one: Walt is dead.
The athlete’s family announced this on his Instagram account. “His soul has been freed to continue his great mission – to live and help others live full, healthy lives,” said a statement. Walt always knew there was something bigger waiting for him outside: “His journey with osteosarcoma wasn’t easy, but it helped him find that ultimate source of strength. He never lost his belief that he, and others like him, were themselves can heal.” May he still offer inspiration, love and strength to those who need it. Walt was only 24 years old.”
The cancer was initially discovered on the basketball player’s shin, so it later had to be partially amputated. Then he spread out too Walt’s lungs, which is why he had to undergo two more operations. After removing 20 tumors, doctors determined that 30 to 40 more would not be easy to remove unless they were shrunk first.
