Why We Fight
Vivian Jo was diagnosed with DIPG/DMG in July 2024, just one month after celebrating her 4th birthday. DIPG/DMG is a rare and aggressive form of brain cancer, most commonly found in children between the ages of 5 and 10. It carries a devastating median survival rate of just 8 to 11 months. At the time of her diagnosis there was no effective treatment beyond radiation and early-phase clinical trials, which offer only temporary relief.
On April 22nd, 2025, Vivian’s earthly battle came to an end. Yet her radiant bravery continues to lead us forward. We carry Vivi Jo’s joy, strength, and unstoppable spirit into this fight, determined to honor her by pushing toward the cure every child deserves.
