In remembrance of Lauren’s unique and special wedding story, and all the unforgettable surrounding circumstances, Producer Beth Ruyak has posted Lauren’s documentary “The Not-Dying Girl” on Youtube at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kzi4vp2AT3M

There have been over 89,000 views since it was posted on July 6, 2024, the 11st anniversary of her bucket-list wedding. In addition, Beth just signed an agreement for a new 3-year run on Sacramento’s public television channel KVIE, beginning in September. September is also Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, which has a yellow ribbon color. We’re all so thrilled about the renewed collaboration with Beth and KVIE. Please check the Viewfinder listings, especially in September, for “The Not-Dying Girl” air dates.

2024 marks 10 years since Lauren gained her angel wings and her message rings as honest, true, and important today as it always has. Please share Lauren’s story, her blog, and the documentary with others to continue to spread Lauren’s message. Feel free to share on your own social media outlets or through conversation. Reading the comments on the documentary shows me that she continues to inspire others and that she made a difference in her short 21 years.

Each time we watch this amazing film, we smile when Lauren smiles and embrace all the incredible ways she touched those around her, while feeling the ache from the missing piece in our hearts. Her dad and I are so grateful to Beth Ruyak for making such a beautiful film to capture who she was and to allow her message to continue to impact others.
