Why We Fight
The Nicole's Houston Hearts of Gold Chapter of The Cure Starts Now was formed in honor and memory of Nicole Lee. Nicole was a spunky 7 year old native Texas gal, who was diagnosed with DIPG when she was 5 years old. She loved playing with her 9 year old sister Natalie, dancing, writing and drawing. Nicole wanted to be an artist, teacher and auntie when she grew up. She bravely fought her cancer for 18 months until she earned her angel wings September 2009. Learn more about Nicole.
The Houston chapter also honors Lara Dilan, daughter of Drs. Asheesh and Latika Pasi. Lara was 7 when DIPG took her from her family. She was full of energy and their ray of sunshine. She ALWAYS defended her big brothers when they were in trouble! Lara absolutely loved school and adored her teachers and friends. Lara bravely fought for 14 months and earned her angel wings May 21, 2018. Learn more about Lara.
