Let There Be, in 2015, an Awareness Day for DIPG! For decades in the darkness of despair, thousands dead, it is time.

Created by J.D. on January 29, 2015

DIPG is a deadly pediatric brain tumor with no survivors and no progress in over 35 years. When we asked why there weren't more therapies developed, the answer was always the same: not enough numbers to matter to investors. In the U.S.A., our children are not coming first when it comes to cancer research, they're literally coming dead-last, and the NCI made this public 2/14/14, only 4% of taxpayer dollars allotted for cancer research are for children's cancer as a whole! Thousands of families have had to watch their child die, helplessly, with out-dated therapies designed for adults that sicken them more, but it's all they have...The darkness of this disease has few parallels; please help bring light and hope to those currently fighting! Please declare an Awareness Day for DIPG in 2015!
