The Smiths made the announcement on Uninterrupted, the video platform created by Smith’s Cleveland Cavaliers’ teammate LeBron James.

“We know we’re not the only family going through this, who has been through this, and who will ever go through it,” Jewel said on the video. “That’s why we decided to share what we’re going through with you guys. Please keep us in your prayers and we’ll do the same for everybody else.”
