In March of 2019, I was diagnosed with a brain tumor. From my first MRI, the doctors diagnosed me with one of the deadliest childhood brain cancers, Diffuse Midline Glioma (DMG). DMG and Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma are located in the brainstem, and as they grow, they take away a child's ability to walk, talk, eat, see, hear, and finally, their ability to breathe. After children are diagnosed, they are typically told they only have 9 months to live. The long-term survival rate of DIPG/DMG is only 1%.

I was able to have a biopsy that showed I have a grade 1 Pilocytic Astrocytoma, which is a very slow-growing tumor. For my Make-A-Wish, I designed shirts to sell and raise money for Childhood Cancer research. This Campaign is a continuation of that wish! I want to help fund more groundbreaking research to give kids the future they deserve! Please help me make my wish come true!
