The whole #DIPG community were saddened to wake to the news that Jasmine 'The Warrior Princess' has passed away. An incredible UK family that have shone a light on the brutality of this disease to thousands who followed. Sleep well Jasmine 💗#DIPGheroes

September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month #CCAM and every person needs to see this and know the facts -- brain tumors are the most common cancer in children and adolescents under age 19 in the U.S. Raise awareness ➡️ inspire others ➡️ take action ➡️ create change. #btsm
13 years ago this month, my son was diagnosed with brain cancer. I promised him that I would do everything I could to help kids with #ChildhoodCancer. It’s the only thing he asked us to do. Not to help him, but to help others. I would be grateful for a follow or a RT to spread awareness and honor his journey. 🙏🏻

Day 6🎗
#ChildhoodCancerAwarenessMonth
The children💛
Their names
Their faces
Their sense of humor
Their bravery
Their selflessness
Their thoughtfulness
Their never-ending love
There is no measure big enough, wide enough, or deep enough to show just how precious they are💛

Children do not get Adult cancers, but have to rely on Adult treatments. For Children that do Survive #ChildhoodCancer the Toxic effects of Chemo & Radiation affect them the Rest of their Lives. We NEED better, less Toxic treatments specifically designed for our Children.

Survival rate for Children diagnosed w/ #DIPG is 9 months.💔 ZERO drugs have been developed to treat Pediatric #BrainCancer & are being treated w/ harsh Protocols designed for Adults.
We NEED to do BETTER!
