May is brain tumor awareness month! The leading cause of cancer-related death in
children is one of the least funded areas of cancer research. DIPG, diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma, is responsible for 80% of pediatric brain tumor deaths annually. Event proceeds benefit the DIPG research fund at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles. A special tribute wall was made to honor several DIPG warriors: Naithan Sizemore, Tiara Caleb, Cole Marshall, Chase Kerr, and Jack Demeter were among the honorees.
