Five years ago my family received the devastating news, my nephew was diagnosed with DIPG.

DIPG (Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma) is a disease that strikes at the heart of childhood and it is a disease in desperate need of a cure.

DIPG affects the pons portion of the brainstem, rendering the nervous system function impossible. Symptoms include double vision, inability to close the eyelids completely, dropping one side of the face, and difficulty chewing and swallowing. Unfortunately, these symptoms usually worsen rapidly because the tumor is rapidly growing. My nephew fought for 16 months, undergoing chemo, radiation and several surgeries. He will forever be our superhero, light of our life, 6 years old, and AUSTINSTRONG! 

That's why I am raising money for childhood cancer research! 


Did you know that kids' cancers are different from adult cancers? It's true. And childhood cancer research is extremely underfunded. So I decided to do something about it by raising money for cures.

Now I need your help! Will you make a donation? Every dollar makes a difference for the thousands of infants, children, teens, and young adults fighting childhood cancers.
