Watch the video to get a glimpse into the family's cancer journey.

When NFL legend Alex Smith and his wife, Elizabeth, learned their daughter Sloane had brain cancer, they felt like their world was crashing down. “You think you have been through a lot, but when it's one of your kids, nothing prepares you for a moment like that,” the former NFL quarterback said.

Sloane was diagnosed in May of 2022 – when she was just 7 years old. Get a glimpse into the family's cancer journey in the video below.
