Serena Williams' husband Alexis Ohanian sends strongly-worded message on parenthood, makes undisclosed donation to young cancer survivor

Serena Williams' husband, Alexis Ohanian, recently made a vital donation for a girl named Mira, who was diagnosed with a rare brain tumor. Ohanian, a tech entrepreneur, is himself the father of two adorable daughters, Olympia and Adira, and he seemed to understand Mira's concern.

Mira was diagnosed with a rare and life-threatening brain tumor, adamantinomatous craniopharyngioma on September 23rd, 2024. Given the extreme rarity of this condition, securing the necessary funding for its treatment became a critical challenge. To address this, entrepreneur Siqi Chen spearheaded a fundraising campaign to support Mira’s fight and raise awareness for the cause.

Additionally, Dr. Todd Hankinson of the Hankinson Lab at the University of Colorado dedicated himself to advancing research on Craniopharyngioma. Moreover, Mira's condition gradually improved due to the treatment. According to the latest update, a total of $211,652 has been raised towards the $300,000 target.

Chen shared the update on X, emphasizing the emotional instinct of parents to sacrifice themselves to save their children.

Serena Williams' husband agreed to Chen's sentiments and re-shared his post, confirming that he had donated.

"Every parent knows how hard they'd smash this button and prays they never have to wish for it. Donated and amplified," he wrote.
