The Challenge’s Ashley Cain and Safiyya Vorajee are going home with their daughter Azaylia Diamond to spend time as a family afterdoctors told them she has just days to live.
“9 days ago consultants told us my daughter had 1-2 days to live, but thought she may pass that evening,” he writes on Instagram Friday. “Even with a barbaric disease consuming her blood, tumours in her brain and organs and amounts of pain I cannot imagine… She is still battling through 9 days later, with parts of the day with nothing but smiles despite her discomfort.”
Cain commends his child’s “strength” during her devastating battle with leukemia.
“This is a testament of this little girls strength and the fight she has possessed all of the way through. She has fought a battle that not many, if any, of us could have endured and she’s earned the love and respect of many on the way,” he says. “The truth is though, I hope and pray that I have earned hers! Even through the hardest and saddest time of my life, she has found a way to make it better. She has shined light on the darkest of days and she has opened my heart to amounts of love I couldn’t believe possible!”
