My Story

Pineoblastoma usually occurs in children or people between the ages of 20 and 40 years. The overall 5-year survival rate for children with pineoblastoma is about 60% and that rate drops for children, like Lauren, who relapse with metastasis throughout the spine. I want to change that, so I'm raising money to find cures.
