Each year 450 children in the UK are diagnosed with brain cancer. Among these there is a tumour so DEADLY there is NO effective treatment or CURE - Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma or DIPG. Responsible for 80% of ALL brain tumour death that occurs in children, we aim to raise vital research funds & give HOPE to DIPG families. A UK family is affected by DIPG every 9 DAYS, they will be told that their child has an average life expectancy of just 9 MONTHS. This prognosis has remained unchanged for more than 50 years, we are already working with the research centres in the UK and worldwide, that are progressing the most innovative research projects to improve the putlook for future families that receive this most devastating diagnosis in paediatric oncology. Currently in the UK a child DIES every THREE days from brain cancer. This has to change.
