Less than two weeks ago, it came to light that the mother of Montreal Canadiens forward Brendan Gallagher was battling stage 4 glioblastoma, a rare and aggressive form of brain cancer with high recurrence rates. Brendan's sister, Bree, shared this news as she launched a fundraiser in their mother's honor to assist families facing similar struggles without adequate resources or medical care.
While Brendan Gallagher had previously remained quiet on the matter, this week, he spoke out for the first time about his mother's condition. Gallagher openly acknowledged that the emotional weight of his mother's illness has affected his performance on the ice.
Fortunately, Gallagher has found solace in a strong support system. He credited his partner, Emma, for playing a crucial role in helping him cope.
Although the journey remains ongoing for Gallagher and his family, they aim to make a positive impact through their fundraiser and by speaking openly about their experiences, hoping to offer support to others facing similar battles.
