Why We Fight

Meet my little Addie Mae—DIPG Hero! ⭐️

At just 3 years old, Addie Mae was diagnosed with DIPG, an aggressive pediatric brain tumor. Though her journey was difficult, Addie inspired countless lives through her strength, resilience, and ability to find joy in every day.

Her legacy continues to encourage others to choose joy and find hope even in life’s hardest moments.

Though her time on earth was brief, her impact was mighty. Cancer may have been part of her story, but it never defined who she was. Her heart, her joy, her strength, and the love she gave so freely to everyone around her did. Through her journey, she touched more lives than many do in a lifetime. Hearts were softened, faith was strengthened, and many came to know the hope and light found in Christ. Though her time on earth was brief, the way she pointed others to Jesus will remain one of her greatest and most lasting legacies.

On May 13, 2021, Addie gained her angel wings, but her impact lives on throughout our community and far beyond. In one final act of generosity, she donated her brain to research to help future children facing this devastating disease. Five years later, her tissue continues to be shared with researchers around the world, helping advance research and bring hope for better treatments and, ultimately, a cure. A little girl who only ever wanted to save the world somehow still is. Today, we honor Addie by supporting research through The Cure Starts Now. By targeting DIPG and other aggressive pediatric brain tumors, we hope to drive discoveries that bring hope to families and lead to cures for ALL cancer.
