2025 DIPG Collaborative Membership
We are happy to share that we have renewed our membership with the DIPG | DMG Collaborative for the upcoming year. As collaborative members, we will continue to contribute to cutting-edge research and collaborate with organizations, researchers, medical providers, and legislators across the United States and globally to fight DIPG.
2024 Research Funding
In September, we recently contributed $15,000 to help fund some encouraging new research concerning DIPG. Two such studies are highlighted below.
2024 DIPG Collaborative Grant Award - Dr. Alonso
Winning the fight against cancer involves new ways of thinking. Dr. Alonso’s new grant award for immunotherapy might unlock the body’s potential to help us beat brain cancers.
2024 DIPG Collaborative Grant Award - Dr. Jones
Imagine what we can do if we figure out how cancer evades treatments. Dr. Jones discusses his new grant funding that is focused on how tumors hide in the hopes of creating brand new therapies to beat cancer.
2024 DIPG Collaborative Grant Award - Dr. Bell
Dr. Bell’s new grant funding in lactic acid production and DIPG could create brand new ways to treat all forms of cancer.
2024 Cancer Chomp
On September 28th, we took part in the University of Florida's third annual Cancer Chomp!
While we have been each of the past two years, we are proud to have taken part this year as a brain stem sponsor. This allowed us to contribute $2,500 to further the mission of our Safety Net Program. These funds will be used to benefit patients and families currently undergoing treatment at the University of Florida. More specifically, they will be used to assist with transportation, lodging, prescriptions, and more.
We look forward to continuing to support the University of Florida and their patients in combatting brain cancer!
Abby's Corner Walk-A-Thon Recap
We are so incredibly grateful to our Abby's Corner Community for your support throughout our second annual Walk-A-Thon!
This year, we were able to raise over $35,000 for DIPG research because of the incredible enthusiasm and commitment from this community. This was achieved thanks to over 100 participant sign-ups and unbelievable efforts in both walking and fundraising.
We hope that you will continue to partner with us in the years to come as we work collectively towards the eradication of this cancer.
Patient and Family Highlight
We know too well the financial obstacles that families face when combatting a DIPG diagnosis. Thus, Abby's Corner is now offering financial support to families currently in the fight that require assistance.
In doing so, we will be sharing the journies of brave children and families battling DIPG. Our hope is that the Abby's Corner community will rally around these children in a manner that provides strength and encouragement to these families while spotlighting the dire need for meaningful research and treatment.
If you or someone you know may need financial support in your fight against DIPG, check out the button below to contact us to receive that support.
Thank You
As we reflect on the progress we've made and the challenges that lie ahead, we want to extend our heartfelt gratitude to each and every one of you. Your generosity, compassion, and unwavering support are the driving force behind our efforts to find a cure for DIPG.
Together, we are bringing hope to families affected by this devastating disease and working towards a future where every child facing a DIPG diagnosis can look forward to a long and fulfilling life.
We hope that you will continue to partner alongside us and contribute to our collective efforts at combatting DIPG. Please give today and consider becoming a recurring donor, fully committed to our efforts to beat cancer's biggest bully.
With deepest appreciation,
Daniel Adewunmi
