Influencer Noticed Daughter's Eye 'Moving Strangely.' Days Later, She's Diagnosed with Brain Tumor (Exclusive)


Fashion influencer Amy Roiland recently shared on TikTok that her 4-year-old daughter Ryder had been diagnosed with a brain tumor.

While Amy Roiland's TikTok account was for years devoted to personal style, the fashion blogger has more recently focused on something closer to the heart: the diagnosis of her daughter, 4-year-old Ryder, with a brain tumor. The second four-hour, open-brain biopsy was even more difficult — though it determined that the little girl did indeed have a slow-growing, low-grade glioma located in her optic pathway and affecting the vision in her right eye. Roiland — who welcomed the couple's second baby, son Rockwell Benjamin, in April — tells PEOPLE that her decision to share their journey on social media (and on her typically fashion-focused accounts) centered on two things: wanting to offer other parents hope, and show that life goes on even with the considerable challenges that arise from confronting a child's serious health issue.
