• 'CT' Tamburello Breaks Silence, Posts Message to Longtime Love Diem Brown

    Diem Brown was a rare kind of reality star. Sure, she was a hardcore competitor on several seasons of MTV's T"he Challenge," but she was even more fearless when it came to battling cancer on three different occasions. She used her time in the spotlight to help advocate for others's battling serious illnesses and started her own nonprofit called Medgift to help patients offset the steep cost of being seriously ill. Through it all, her boyfriend Chris "CT" Tamburello was there. While these two were not always together over the last eight years, they always reunited when it counted and Tamburello was with Brown right up until her death on Nov. 14. Her funeral was yesterday in New York City, and now that reality is starting to sink in, Tamburello finally broke his silence with a post on Instagram.

  • MTV's Diem Brown Loses Third Courageous Battle with Cancer, Dead at 32

    Perhaps one of the saddest stories of this past week is the news that Diem Brown has lost her battle with cancer. The 32-year old had starred on seven seasons of MTV's "The Challenge" and she had used her fame as a platform to educate about every aspect of cancer. She was first diagnosed with ovarian cancer nearly ten years ago and then fought a second round successfully back in 2012. In late August of this year, Brown's final battle began. By October she had learned that her cancer had spread to the lining of her stomach, her liver and her lymph nodes. Perhaps the saddest thing of all was the desperation Brown showed earlier this week in wanting to live.

  • Terminally Ill Brittany Maynard Decides to Postpone Originally Planned Nov. 1 Death with Dignity Date, Continues to Advocate for the Cause [WATCH]

    In the last month, Brittany Maynard's story has garnered international attention as it naturally has caused people to weigh in. On Jan. 1 of this year Maynard was diagnosed with glioblastoma brain cancer which causes a debilitating and often slow death. While Maynard was originally given only 6 months to live she has made it longer and still is able to find joy and laughter in each day in spite of suffering through extreme pain and daily seizures that cause her not even remember her husband's name. Earlier this month Maynard went public with her story in an attempt to raise awareness for "death with dignity" and at that point she had marked Nov. 1 as the date when she would willingly take prescribed medication to peacefully end her life surrounded by loved ones. Now, according to a new video posted to her site, it seems that Maynard has changed her mind- at least for now.
