All honorees attended the Wrangler NFR at the Thomas & Mack Center where they cheered on their favorite cowboy or cowgirl. Livy’s cowboy was Saddle Bronc Rider Chase Brooks who still keeps in contact with her. It was an experience that Livy and the Ingram family will not soon forget.

Olivia’s Story - Livy is the very definition of grit. She was diagnosed with skin cancer before the age of two and a metastatic brain tumor at the age of three. Proving herself a fighter, she has undergone three stem cell transplants and six rounds of intensive chemo. She has had multiple brain surgeries that have required her to relearn to walk and talk three times since she was born. This early fight has taught her to never use the word quit. When she was six years old, she went to visit her dad in the hospital, after he nearly lost his leg, and her first words for him were “you’ll be fine.” Olivia excels at school and loves sports. At home she is the middle child with two brothers who are very close in age. She loves them both dearly, but they know who the boss is. Her passion is teaching her cat Chloe new tricks, art projects and she admires architecture, with aspirations of one day being a fine home architect.
