\u2014 David P. Samson (@DavidPSamson) June 24, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n \u201cI have felt all of your concern and love for these months and wasn\u2019t ready to be anymore specific than I was. Kyra was a 28-year-old young woman who loved deeply and who is impossible to describe in 280 characters,\u201d Samson wrote on X on Wednesday. \u201cWhile her life got stolen from her, she handled these months with courage, poise, and resolve. And all I want is for no family to feel what we feel today. For no young person to suffer the way she did.\u201d<\/p>\n Samson stepped away from his show for two weeks last September before telling his audience that his daughter was sick. During a November episode of his podcast, he showed up with a shaved head and untrimmed beard in solidarity with Kyra.<\/p>\n \u201cYou know how sick my daughter is. And my daughter has been going through treatment,\u201d he said on the program<\/a>. \u201cMy daughter is a brave woman, is a strong woman. Is a woman who is able to go through these treatments, understanding the importance of them while recognizing the difficulty of them.<\/p>\n \u201cWhen you go to a hospital every day to get treatment and your hair starts falling out and you recognize what hair means in terms of vanity, you realize that vanity takes a step behind living. And I don\u2019t mean a small step.\u201d<\/p>\n Samson said that instead of flowers, people can make donations to The Kyra Fund<\/a>, which has a $200,000 goal and will go toward research treatments of glioblastomas.<\/p>\n The fund has already reached over $158,000 in donations.<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t![\"Kyra](\"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/David-Samson-Kyra-Samson-062426-7276e559422e4a8298797d161aef86ad-copy.jpg\")
