Abby's Corner
Walk-A-Thon
Each year, we host a one-month Walk-A-Thon kicking off on National DIPG awareness day to raise funds for DIPG!
The Walk-A-Thon culminates with an in-person celebration near Abby's birthday.
We are excited to have raised over $20,000 in our first Walk-A-Thon benefitting DIPG research.
Registration for our 2024 Walk-A-Thon is now open.

Memorial Scholarship
In Abby's honor, her family has sponsored a college education scholarship in partnership with Abby's high school, C. Leon King High School in Tampa, FL.
Each year, two Black, female students planning to pursue a college degree will be selected and will each receive a $1,000 stipend towards any collegiate expenses.
Cancer Chomp
Each year, we return to Abby's treatment home, the University of Florida, to take part in their Cancer Chomp!
Cancer chomp is an annual 5k fundraising event sponsored by the University of Florida to benefit UF Health patients combatting brain tumors and their families.
