On June 16, 2015, Ryan Mott at the age of 8 was diagnosed with a rare aggressive form of brain cancer, DIPG. DIPG is inoperable and incurable. The only treatment is 6 weeks of radiation. Ryan was treated at NIH under the care of Dr. Warren, and he was on a clinical trial for oral chemotherapy. Most children die with the first year after being diagnosed with DIPG. There is no cure. Ryan passed away after battling 8 months. We decided to donate his brain and spine for medical research in hopes we can understand DIPG more and help find a cure.
