After winning the Vault event and finishing 2nd in the All Around Competition in the Hawaii Gymnastics Championship in November of 2017, 11 year old Kaylan Haywood competed for the first time since her winning performance in January of 2018. What resulted was Kaylan's side being weak, her foot was dragging, and her arm was hanging. In February she was diagnosed with DIPG and only was able to live for 6 more months, as she passed away on August of 2018 from this most dreaded form of Pediatric Brain Cancer.
