"We are all absolutely devastated but we are gonna fight this all the way," the couple said.
The statement further stated, "We don't want your sadness, we just want love and positivity and together we will raise awareness of this terrible disease and look for all available treatment options."
"It's gonna be a tough battle but with everyone's love and support, we are going to beat this. Tom and Kelsey," assured the couple.
