Brittany “Brett” Schmidt is definitely a real person. Here she is in high school.
Here she is in May, shaving her head for St. Baldrick’s. Note that she doesn’t mention her many cancers on her page.
There are also several sites listing Brittany “Brett” Schmidt’s times in various 5Ks, including when she was going through chemo. She finished third in her age group. Pretty good for someone on chemo!
(This information was found by the group formed when the Warrior Eli hoax was busted. These people are incredible. If I was a hoaxer, I’d be scared of them. They’re watching).
