Nine months ago, Hallie Kyed was just two years old when she was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia in April 2023. Tragically, as her father, NFL reporter for the Boston Herald, Doug Kyed shared on Instagram, Hallie, at the age of 2, has passed away on January 21.
According to Kyed, things took a turn for his little girl when she relapsed following a bone marrow transplant. Her chemotherapy had stopped working.
“Hallie died peacefully in her sleep on Sunday morning as Jen and I held her hands in bed,” Doug wrote. “We’re completely lost and heartbroken without Hallie. Our lives will never be the same.”
As Doug continued, his little girl “was a special kid.” And despite being just two years old, “she made a positive impact on so many people she met.”
