So when she was asked to become part of a college cheer team, saying yes was a no-brainer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Just the year before, Kara was diagnosed with Ewing sarcoma. She began chemo and radiation treatments, but the cancer took a toll on more than just Kara\u2019s body. As her body worked hard to fight the disease, her brain struggled to see a future for herself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When she first walked into Weber State cheer practice in the winter of 2024, she was stepping into something new\u2014and Kara loves trying new things. It didn\u2019t take long for her to feel right at home with her new teammates. But one teammate in particular quickly became a best friend: Johanna Simon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-9-16 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Kara and Johanna, Weber State Cheer\" width=\"563\" height=\"1000\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/18MvI-Cqff4?feature=oembed&#038;enablejsapi=1&#038;origin=https:\/\/www.teamimpact.org\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Johanna, an international student from Germany, immediately embraced Kara as part of the team and part of her life. <strong>\u201cFrom day one of Kara coming to practice, Johanna has embraced her wholeheartedly,\u201d <\/strong>Kara\u2019s mom, Heather, shared. \u201cShe is the first to check in when Kara has appointments and scans, and we are so grateful to have her show Kara so much love and care.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Johanna\u2019s support has gone far beyond the sidelines\u2014and far beyond Kara. \u201cShe never leaves out my son either,\u201d Heather said. \u201cShe loves being with our family and will happily play with Grayson too.
