In a recent post, Taelor and Sydni opened up on life with their famous dad.

Scott's daughters keep their father's memory alive by working with "The Stuart Scott Fund" in partnership with the V Foundation for Cancer Research.

Through the foundation, the siblings meet others who lost loved ones to cancer and strengthened them with love. By meeting people with similar experience, Scott's daughter has learned to handle their loss better.
