LANSING, Mich. — 5 year old Lily Bowen from Dewitt was diagnosed with Neuroblastoma Cancer in 2016.

On Sunday, her family held a fundraiser in Lansing, selling shirts and wristbands.

That money will go to pay for Lily's medical expenses.

Lily's mother Natasha had to quit her job to help care for her daughter.

So far they have raised over $18,000.

"To watch your kid go through like that, I would not wish that on my worst enemy, but she does it, she gets back up and goes about her business" Said Natasha Bowen.

"I like her fierceness, she does not let it get her down" Said Lily's Great Aunt Randa Dexter

"She is just a brave little girl and is just fighting so hard." Said Lily's Aunt Holly Pohl

Neuroblastoma Cancer is most common in kids age 5 and younger.

A Go Fund Me account was set up for her.
