Walker’s daughters loved to keep a low profile and as a result, details aabout their personal and professional lives are currently under wraps.
Walker, who was diagnosed with stage 4 glioblastoma in July 2021, died Wednesday, according to her family.
Walker collaborated with The Jimmy Fund to launch her Move 4 Heather Challenge after being diagnosed with glioblastoma, a rare form of brain cancer, in 2021.
It asked individuals to accomplish something on their “bucket list” or something that affected them, photograph or videotape it, publish it on social media, and donate to the Heather Walker Fund.
The donations have helped support the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. Since being established, the fund has raised more than $640,000.

In a statement, The Boson Celtics eulogized Walker, calling her “a boundlessly charismatic, giving, and selfless soul.”
The team said in a statement:
“Every room she entered was brighter for her presence. As anyone who knew her could attest, her abundant positive energy and kindness should not be mistaken for any lack of fortitude or determination when such qualities were required.”
Our hearts and sympathy are with Heather’s loving family and friends, whom she cherished. She will remain part of our fabric for as long as the Celtics go on. pic.twitter.com/bUGiaL53A1
