Philippine Girls’ National Football team standout, Beatrice Luna, had enough with her battle against arteriovenous malformation (AVM) and passed away at the age of 16.
After collapsing a few days ago, Luna was immediately rushed to the hospital but unfortunately was unable to recover and was pronounced dead on Tuesday morning.
Luna was battling AVM – “an abnormal tangle of blood vessels connecting arteries and veins, which disrupts normal blood flow and oxygen circulation.”
Known for her happy and vibrant personality, Luna was also a part of the national U-15 squad that finished fourth in the 2019 AFF football tournament.
Upon Luna’s passing, members of the Pinay Futbol community sent their messages and asked everyone to please pray for Luna’s family.
