Dusting involves young people inhaling aerosols like spray deodorant, paint thinner or keyboard cleaners.

Renna went into cardiac arrest before later being declared brain dead after using a cleaning product to take part in the deadly challenge.

The teen’s heartbroken dad Aaron O’Rouke described how his daughter dreamed of fame.

In an interview with AZFamily, he shared: “She always said, ‘I’m gonna be famous, Dad. Just you watch. I’m gonna be famous.’ Sadly, this isn’t how we envisioned it happening.”

Aaron and his wife Dana shared their daughter’s tragic story to raise awareness of the social media challenge.

Dana said: “There’s no ID required. It’s odorless. It’s everything kids look for.

“They can afford it, they can get it, and it doesn’t show in mom and dad’s drug test.”

The mom explained how Renna and her boyfriend used an app delivery service to have the cleaning agent delivered to their door.

She told 12news: “[Renna] and her boyfriend had Door Dashed product to my house and I didn’t know.

“It’s keyboard cleaner. I didn’t know what they were doing with it.

“Our goal is to turn our tragedy into a lesson so no other parent has to endure seeing their child on life support, relying on a ventilator, incapable of self-breathing, all because they inhaled contents from a can.”

Dr. Randy Weisman at the HonorHealth Scottsdale Osborn Medical Center described how inhaling aerosols can induce feelings of intoxication or euphoria momentarily.

But such use can result in liver failure, heart failure and lung disease among other irreversible issues – or death.

He told AZFamily: “This is extremely concerning.

“When they inhale these chemicals in the gas it will actually replace the oxygen within their lungs and within the rest of their body.”

Renna’s parents said that the only light to come from her passing is that her organs have gone on to save at least six other people.

Mom Dana said: “Through that we’re finding strength and purpose.

“She will be unbelievably missed, leaving the most aching hole in our lives, but if her life is to mean anything, we are going to do what we can to prevent somebody else’s child from being where ours is right now.

“She will be unbelievably missed, leaving the most aching hole in our lives, but if her life is to mean anything, we are going to do what we can to prevent somebody else’s child from being where ours is right now.”

A post on the GoFundMe set up for Renna read: “On Sunday, June 1st at 1:30pm, our wonderful daughter, after 4 days in the ICU, was pronounced brain dead.

“She was the light in every room she walked into, and the pain that her family and friends feel is simply immeasurable.

“We want to use the proceeds of this fundraiser to cover the extensive medical bills, burial costs, therapy costs, and to spread awareness about the dangers of Huffing/Dusting, the practice of inhaling keyboard cleaner or similar.”
