This tree. Grace’s tree that was planted as a place to take her picture year after year—to mark how much she had grown. The tree has grown. Grace will forever be the five year old standing next to it.

Help us give years of growth to children afflicted by pediatric brain cancer. Help us fund research that leads to a cure.

TODAY, your donation is DOUBLED. Help us get closer to our goal of $10K in May. We’re almost half way there…every single dollar counts!

“Maycember” is nearing a close. There’s been a hustle and bustle of year-end celebrations, tournaments, graduations, last days of school and proms. Hopefully, for busy parents and families, there’s been time to pause and savor these moments that will be forever remembered.

Join us in helping to secure life moments for children with brain cancer. More grades in school, more games to be played, a real prom experience, a graduation to celebrate.

Help us aid families, find research and raise awareness that leads to ACTION this May.

“Maycember” is Brain Cancer Awareness Month. Donate today—DOUBLE your impact this May. We are short of our $10,000 goal —you can help us get closer to the full match amount!

Our virtual runners across the US and abroad represent not only the pediatric brain cancer families we serve, but the world-wide research that is funded each year through our partnership with the DIPG DMG Collaborative.

It is heartwarming to see the t-shirts being worn on beaches and deserts, in cities and hillsides. Thank you, virtual participants, for spreading the word and carrying our mission wide and far. From Los Angeles to London, we are grateful for you!

Help us continue to expand our reach this May by donating and sharing our appeal that DOUBLES all donations! Every dollar makes a difference!

Our funded research IS making a difference! Take a look at this article about UNC Eshelman School of Pharmacy professor David Drewry and his team at UNC Chapel Hill. Through a research grant from the DIPG DMG Collaborative, “The team has been working to revolutionize the discovery and development of affordable medicines for diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma.”

Our research dollars are hard at work!

Through this May’s funding drive, where a generous donor has pledged to DOUBLE all donations received up to $10,000, we can continue to support cutting edge research such as this! Your donation can make a difference for a DIPG patient. Don’t delay—donate today!

Following the 18th Annual Race For Grace, we were reminded just how far Grace’s story and our mission continue to reach. A generous family in Eastern Tennessee, moved by our commitment to supporting pediatric brain cancer patients and advancing research, has stepped forward in an incredible way.

This family has pledged to match every new donation we receive throughout the month of May — up to $10,000!

That means every dollar you give will have double the impact.

In honor of Brain Cancer Awareness Month, we’re inviting our community to help us meet this challenge. With your support, we can turn this opportunity into meaningful progress for the families and children who need it most.

Join us in “Going Gray in May” — make a donation, share Grace’s story, and help spread the word about this fantastic opportunity!
