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!!🥰

Today marks the 2yr anniversary of our precious CJ's passing. It's hard to believe how much time has already gone by since losing him. We can still remember all the overwhelming emotions and every detail from that horrible day, like it was yesterday. Living without him physically has been very difficult in getting adjusted to, however we know that he still exists in our minds and our hearts unconditionally. He visits us on a regular basis in his own special CJ way. We've found that things that seem like coincidences that make us think of him often are actually CJ remaining near and surrounding us with his love. Although, it's so sad that we can no longer physically touch, see, hear, or hug & kiss him on a daily basis, we know that he remains a permanent part of us always and forever. What we would give to be able to hug and kiss you, just one more time. It's the little things that are so difficult to ever get beyond being taken away. After all this time, it's still hard not to continue to ask the question, "Why"? The only aspect that brings us comfort is knowing CJ is in such a glorious place, waiting for us to one day join him. He is no longer hurting or in any pain. For him, every day is a celebration. CJ we think of you each and every day and miss you so much. You will forever be in our hearts! Dada & Mama love that P**ta P**t!!
