Fatima Ali\u00a0<\/strong>has lost her battle with cancer.<\/p>\n

The former\u00a0Top Chef<\/em> contestant died on Friday, Jan. 25 at the age of 29-years-old. She\u00a0was diagnosed with a rare form of bone cancer\u00a0in 2017, and briefly went into remission. But\u00a0in Octobter the cancer returned and she\u00a0was given the prognosis that she only had a year to live.<\/p>\n

However, three months later,\u00a0in the beginning of January, the reality star shared that her\u00a0health was rapidly deteriorating. “I know it’s been ages since I posted and most may have figured out why. I’m sick and unfortunately I’m getting sicker,” the chef shared. “Right now all I need are prayers; prayers that are simple.”<\/p>\n

She added, “I hope, because a wish is putting on too much responsibility on the other, that you will somehow find forgiveness in your big heart for whenever I must have hurt you.”<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

And in her last statements to the world, Fatima\u00a0expressed her thanks “a million times over for when you have given me joy.”\u00a0She hoped to keep her fans up to date as the illness progressed. That was only two weeks ago.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

In her last months, the 29-year-old began to cross important items off of her bucket list. She was fortunate enough to see the musical\u00a0Hamilton<\/em> with her family and had the opportunity to meet the cast of the critically-acclaimed play. “I don’t have words to express how grateful I am that these doors keep opening in the most unexpected ways. What a brilliant production\u2014we left in awe of what humans are capable of. Talent and kindness all in one night. I couldn’t ask for more,” she wrote after meeting the cast.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

Moreover, the star had plans to visit the world’s most famous restaurants.\u00a0Ellen DeGeneres<\/a><\/strong>gave the\u00a0Top Chef\u00a0<\/em>contestant $50,000 to travel the world in November. Unfortunately, as her sickness progressed, the star was unable to dine at the places she hoped.<\/p>\n

Our thoughts go out to her family.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n
