It's Giving First Tuesday!!! The Cure Starts Now is continuing to allow us to honor our Sweet CJ and support such a great reason to give. Your donation funds groundbreaking clinical trials. These families are relying on this support to give more time with their loved ones.

Imagine, hearing the word DIPG, no treatment options, and less than a yr to live more than likely a few months. This is the pill we had to swallow upon learning of CJ's diagnosis. Our lives turned upside down in minutes.

These kids deserve the opportunity to live their best lives!! PLEASE donate to fund research to change this conversation and provide HOPE in one day finding the Homerun Cure.

Today ONLY your donation is tripled. Also, consider matching the total amount raised for the Charlotte, NC Chapter to make such a significant impact for such a good cause.

Help us honor CJ today and support Giving First. His strength and bravery exhibit the true meaning of a DIPG Warrior. We are so proud of him and still continue to be blessed by his love each and every day!!❤️ THANK YOU!!🥰
