In
the final months of her life, Toronto teenager Olivia
Wise created
a legacy that reached around the world and all the way to an A-list
pop star.
Wise
died Monday afternoon, two years after she was diagnosed with an
inoperable brain tumour and six weeks after a video of her
singing Katy
Perry’s “Roar” was
posted on YouTube.
“She died peacefully in her home surrounded by
the extraordinary love of her family,” her cousin, Jeff Kassel,
wrote in an email.
In
those six weeks, the 16-year-old’s video prompted a response from
Perry, more than a million views, a response video featuring messages
from hundreds of Toronto students, and more than $85,000 in donations
to help other young people with cancer.
