00:02Class, that is enough!
00:04How ugly do you have to be to wear a box?
00:06Yeah, talk about insecure.
00:08I'm not insecure, I'm just...
00:13Oh...
00:13Class, listen up.
00:16Why are you three wearing boxes?
00:18Is that a...
00:20Parent-teacher conferences, they are going...
00:25Huh?
00:28You don't have to put your head in a box to check out my new podcast.
00:31What happens next?
00:33Hey, Dhar Man fam, if you like our inspirational stories,
00:36then I'd really appreciate if you checked out my podcast
00:38that has real stories from incredible people who have lived them.
00:41Click the link in the description to check it out.
00:43Now let's go ahead and start today's video.
00:50You broke the record!
00:53Yes!
00:53If I can do it, so can you!
00:56Watch me prepare for my first marathon!
01:01Grease, your nose!
01:20One month?
01:22No, it's gonna be some mistake.
01:25Run the test again.
01:27We got a second opinion.
01:29Yeah.
01:30You're more than welcome to get a second opinion, but...
01:32Unfortunately, any doctor will say the same based on Grace's scans.
01:39Grace has glioblastoma.
01:43It's an aggressive brain tumor.
01:47How?
01:48She just ran a 5K this morning.
01:51Look at her, she's fine.
01:54The symptoms don't always show right away.
01:57How are we supposed to tell our seven-year-old daughter?
02:01She won't see her 18th birthday.
02:04There's no guidebook.
02:07Understandably, but...
02:09I think it would be good if you had Grace talk to a professional.
02:14I'm sorry.
02:15I'm sorry.
02:18Hugh, please stop making those dumb TikToks.
02:20It's cringe.
02:22All my friends DM me.
02:24They roast me.
02:25I don't care what anyone thinks.
02:29If I can inspire just one person, that'd make it worth it.
02:34Yeah.
02:35I still have to hear about it.
02:37Grace.
02:39Can you come inside?
02:45Just Grace.
02:59Tumor.
03:02Depressive.
03:14One month.
03:16One month.
03:18Until this project's due.
03:22Grace, are you with us?
03:25I want well thought out answers defining what purpose means in your lives.
03:33Please write down the due date in your planners.
03:39Hey.
03:40Do you need a pencil?
03:42Yeah.
03:58You're going to be 18 next month.
04:01We need a party.
04:04I don't know.
04:06Fine.
04:06But hey, there's one thing we have to do.
04:11Matching outfits.
04:13Same pose.
04:14Like always.
04:15Trust me.
04:16We're going to look back at these photos when we're like 30 and be like,
04:19Wow.
04:20You're so hard.
04:23I love this one.
04:24...
04:25...
04:32...
04:36...
05:02Bro, I saw Grace's back at it again.
05:05If I can do it, so can you.
05:07Dude, who even watches that?
05:09Nobody.
05:10She only has like 30 views.
05:11Running is so lame.
05:13Like, congrats, you moved forward.
05:16Yeah, right?
05:19Yeah, bills, MRI testings, consults.
05:24Man, it's just the beginning.
05:27How are we going to pay for all this?
05:30We can't afford this.
05:32And we barely have 5K in savings.
05:39Maybe I take all the OT I can get, work 15 hour days.
05:45Maybe I sell my car.
05:52I'll get the second job.
05:54No.
05:55She needs you here.
05:57Going for a run.
05:59No, you're not.
06:01You need to rest.
06:02I'm fine.
06:04I need to keep training for the marathon.
06:09I think we need to get her some help.
06:30You may start experiencing some sensitivity to light, some dizziness.
06:35Maybe some headaches.
06:37Why don't you sit up for me?
06:39And you'll possibly have some issues with your balance and coordination.
06:43And that's based on the tumor and its pressure on your brain right now.
06:49Will I be able to run?
06:50Well, if you start treatment, most likely you won't.
06:54You'll be too weak, hon.
06:56I'm sorry.
07:16Are you okay?
07:17I've never seen you this tired.
07:19Yeah, I'm fine.
07:20You're so bad.
07:21Are you sure?
07:21No, my.
07:22I'm fine.
07:23I just need a nap.
07:25Okay?
07:25Hi.
07:26Hey, Grace.
07:27Um, water?
07:30Thanks, Henry.
07:31Yeah.
07:35Oh, no, no.
07:36You keep it.
07:38Hey, Maya.
07:39Hi.
07:41Oh.
07:42While you're at it, keep your tongue back in your mouth.
07:45He's mine.
07:46Okay?
07:47Good talking.
07:48Hey, don't mind her.
07:50He obviously likes you.
07:52I can tell.
07:53I have a sixth sense for these things.
07:57Grace.
07:58What's your answer?
08:02Um...
08:03What is the significance of Ivan's final moments in terms of redemption?
08:09Um...
08:10I think...
08:14Sorry, what part are we on?
08:16What?
08:16She has no idea, sir.
08:17She's too busy drooling over Henry.
08:21Shut up, Tina.
08:23That's enough from both of you.
08:25You need to start paying attention in this class or you're going nowhere in life.
08:30Trust me.
08:31Back off!
08:32You have no idea.
08:34To the principals.
08:36Now, take your things.
08:39I said, take your things.
08:45I'm sorry.
08:47Grace never behaved this way.
08:50Please understand that she's going through a lot.
08:54I'm dying.
08:57Grace was diagnosed with an aggressive brain tumor.
09:00It's obviously very stressful on her.
09:04She didn't mean to offend Mr. Abdullah.
09:07I am so sorry.
09:10I had no idea.
09:11Look, we can accommodate you however we can.
09:14Longer breaks, a teacher aid, whatever you need.
09:18No.
09:19I don't want to be treated differently.
09:22Please don't mention this to anyone.
09:25Grace, why go through the stress?
09:27You don't have to keep going to class.
09:29We can't take care of you.
09:31At all.
09:32I want to stay.
09:34I want to feel normal.
09:37At least until I start treatment.
09:40No way.
09:41Like legit dying?
09:45None of this is fair.
09:47I've spent my entire life making healthy choices.
09:50I run every day.
09:52I eat right.
09:53I've never even taken a sip of alcohol.
09:56I've never vaped.
09:58Nothing.
10:00So why me?
10:02Why?
10:03You're right.
10:04None of this is fair.
10:06And it's not your fault.
10:10Are you familiar with the seven stages of grief?
10:14Here.
10:14It seems to me that you're experiencing the anger phase.
10:19And it's totally normal to feel mad.
10:23Sure.
10:25Whatever.
10:27So what now?
10:28I just wait until I keel over and die?
10:31You're still here.
10:33Hm?
10:34So the question becomes, what do you do with that?
10:38How do you find meaning in the struggle?
10:42Oh, there is no meaning.
10:44It's pointless.
10:46What is happening to you is completely out of your control.
10:50But what you do with it isn't.
10:58I have this project coming up where I have to define purpose.
11:06How do you define it?
11:08I can't answer that for you.
11:11That's something you're gonna have to think about.
11:14I figured you'd say that.
11:23I just need to do.
11:23A couple of things are not terrible.
11:26I've got the money right now at my point.
11:34Oh, I'm an idiot.
11:36This is my point.
11:36I know it's not my point.
11:36No, I'm not my point.
11:36No, I'm not.
11:37No, no.
11:39No, I'm not.
11:41No, you're not.
11:42No, no, I'm not my point.
11:43finally quit making those videos she did yo i saw that yeah she posted it earlier she said she's
11:51quitting hold on why'd you quit posting oh why do you care didn't you say it was cringe anyway
12:02yeah but you said you wouldn't stop for anybody well that that was before i found out before you
12:08found out what guys i just don't want to do it anymore okay you should be happy your friends won't
12:20tease you
12:49anymore
12:51Grace, is it true?
12:54What?
12:56You're dying.
12:57You only have a month left to live.
13:00Who told you that?
13:02What?
13:03Tell me.
13:08Who said that?
13:15Oh my gosh, did you hear about that girl Grace at Bookside High?
13:19It's legit tragic if it's true.
13:21If what's true?
13:23That she has cancer and like a week to live.
13:26So tragic.
13:28Frankie, shut up.
13:29That's Grace's brother.
13:31Wait, what?
13:33Oh my gosh, oh my gosh, I'm so sorry.
13:38You just talked to me.
13:40Stretching.
13:41Hey Grace, you can take it easy today.
13:43I mean, you don't need to go for a run if you don't want to.
13:45You should listen to him.
13:47Grace, why don't you just sit down?
13:48Stop trying to tell me what to do.
13:51I'm fine.
13:53Uh-oh.
13:54I'll be right back.
13:55I hope that's not contagious.
13:58I think Sniffles needs a tissue.
14:03Grace!
14:04I wouldn't go wasting your time on someone who has no time left.
14:07Bad investment.
14:08What is wrong with you?
14:14Hey, bud.
14:15We were about to head to Grace's appointment.
14:18What are you doing home?
14:19Thought you were sleeping over at Jayden's.
14:22You really weren't going to tell me?
14:24It's not fair.
14:26She's my sister.
14:27I'm old enough to know what's going on.
14:37I'm sorry for not telling you.
14:41I guess I didn't know how since I couldn't even accept it myself.
14:49Okay.
14:50And I didn't want you to worry about me.
14:55But I love you.
14:56I'm sorry for not telling you earlier.
15:01So, what happens now?
15:03Are you running your marathon?
15:05Are you staying in the hospital?
15:06Are you in any pain?
15:09Listen, I have to get to my appointment.
15:13Okay?
15:19I want to run.
15:22I'm okay now, so...
15:24I'm hoping I can.
15:26Please don't go.
15:27What if you bring back more bad news?
15:31I'll be back.
15:32Okay?
15:34I promise.
15:39There is a new course of treatment being tested,
15:42but there's only a 10% survival rate.
15:45There's no guarantees with this.
15:47Truth be told, it's pretty expensive, too.
15:50We're not worried about money.
15:52We'll figure it out somehow.
15:54How does the treatment work?
15:57Will I still be able to train?
15:59The treatment is really hard on the body.
16:02You won't be able to run
16:04and may not even be able to get out of bed.
16:08But you will be here in the hospital
16:11during the duration of the treatment time.
16:15And if it doesn't work...
16:17How soon can we start?
16:20Can she be admitted like today?
16:22I think we need to get a job on this.
16:24Mom!
16:25Huh?
16:25Stop.
16:28I don't want it.
16:30What?
16:31I don't want to spend whatever time I have left
16:34suffering in the hospital bed.
16:36Charlie, we will not let you just give up.
16:40You need to find this.
16:46I want to live while I can.
16:48And that means running the marathon.
16:51I can't do that.
16:53If I'm dying here in the hospital room
16:55for a tiny chance,
16:57it could even make a difference.
17:03I'm trying to accept it.
17:06But acceptance takes time.
17:09Parents are so angry.
17:12They really want me to do the treatment.
17:14But what do you want?
17:17I realized
17:19my purpose
17:21is to make the most
17:22out of the time I have left.
17:25I don't want to just exist while I'm dying.
17:28I want to do something.
17:30Well, okay.
17:31Then you don't have time to wait.
17:35I heard you turned down the treatment.
17:37Do you not want to live?
17:39If you only had a couple weeks to live,
17:42would you spend them in the hospital
17:44puking your brains out
17:45and able to get up?
17:48I don't want to suffer.
17:51I'm going out doing what I love.
17:53I won't make it to the marathon,
17:56but I'm going to run on my own.
17:58If I can inspire even just one person
18:00to live life while they can,
18:02then it'll be worth it.
18:05How can I help?
18:06I'm going to start posting again,
18:08making a kind of a diary
18:10for people to remember me by.
18:15Can you manage my account?
18:18You've always been better at the
18:20techy stuff than me,
18:22but you can't show me how it's performing.
18:25I want to do it just to do it,
18:28to inspire even just one person.
18:43I want to do it just one person.
18:43I want to do it just one person.
18:45I want to do it just one person.
18:46I want to do it just one person.
18:48I want to do it just one person.
18:49I want to do it just one person.
18:49I want to do it just one person.
18:49I want to do it just one person.
18:50I want to do it just one person.
18:50I want to do it just one person.
18:50I want to do it just one person.
18:51I want to do it just one person.
18:52I want to do it just one person.
18:53I want to do it just one person.
18:53I want to do it just one person.
18:55I want to do it just one person.
20:00Don't push too hard.
20:02If you can't finish it, we understand.
20:04It's incredible you're even here.
20:07She's gonna finish it.
20:08I'm not leaving your side.
20:10Good.
20:13Let's do it.
20:17One mile down.
20:19The pace is insane.
20:21Stay hydrated.
20:25Wow, your legs look incredible.
20:34Mind if I join?
20:37You can keep up.
20:40Hey, we all got to start somewhere.
20:46We love you, Grace.
20:48You got this.
20:51Don't overexert yourself.
20:53Your pace is strong.
20:59One step after another.
21:00That's all you need.
21:01I'm not letting you quit.
21:05Less than two miles left.
21:07You're killing it.
21:25You did it.
21:26You're incredible.
21:27Yes, girl.
21:36What is all this?
21:38We're here to support you.
21:39We all are.
21:40I'm really wonder, by the way.
21:45I watched all your videos.
21:46You told me to never quit.
21:48So I didn't.
21:49So did a lot of people.
21:51All the kids I work with, too.
21:53See?
21:53You did inspire one person.
21:55Well, actually, more like millions.
21:58I know you told me not to tell you, but...
22:10My daughter got me hooked in the video.
22:12She told me all about you because I work in glioblastoma research.
22:17We're running a trial right now.
22:18It's early, but it's promising.
22:20If you want to join.
22:22Thank you so much.
22:24Really.
22:25But, uh, I've come to terms with it.
22:28Ten percent chances and really, uh...
22:30Actually, patients in our trial have a 90% survival rate.
22:35We will have you back and running in no time.
22:38You gotta try it.
22:39My daddy's the best.
22:45Okay.
22:46I will.
22:47I will.
22:48Hey, Grace.
22:49Hey, congratulations.
22:51No, I was, um...
22:53I was thinking maybe I could take you on a date sometime to celebrate.
22:57I would love to.
22:59Oh, my gosh.
