Brandi Womack
In 2021, Brandi was diagnosed with anaplastic oligodendroglioma, a malignant cancer she had battled before. This time, her family and doctors feared it could be terminal. She underwent surgery to remove the tumor, but complications arose when fluid built up on her brain, leading to the placement of a shunt to relieve the pressure. Her son, Liam, a dedicated player for the Twin Bridges Lightning, had been looking forward to his 10U major season. Lifelong fans of the St. Louis Blues, the family faced the emotional and financial strain of Brandi’s illness, with her husband, Craig Womack, preparing to raise their three children alone. They anticipated significant medical expenses and the loss of Brandi’s income and presence. In 2024, Brandi is in remission, dealing with the lingering effects of years of radiation and chemotherapy, but remains cancer-free and is beginning to return to normal life.
