Fuller had been battling leukemia, and announced in February that it had returned.
“Unfortunately the news regarding the tumor was not what I was hoping. The same Leukemia is back. The plan is to start proton radiation at UAB as soon as I can….hopefully within the next two weeks. I will have 12 days of radiation and then more chemo to make sure it’s gone once and for all. Round 5- I’m ready to fight! #allidoiswin,” he posted in February.
He won Chopper Junior at the young age of 14 and nearly made it to the finale of Top Chef Junior in late 2017 but left the show to prioritize his health.
Our thoughts are with Fuller‘s friends, family, and loved ones during this devastating time.
