Brainwaves NI has launched the DIPG Angels Fund to give kids a fighting chance against the deadliest Kids Brain Cancer - Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma
- Brain Tumours are the #1 cancer killer of UK Children
- The most FATAL Childhood Brain Cancer is DIPG
- Causing 80% of all Brain Cancer deaths in Children
- No Treatment. No Cure. 0% Survival Rate
- Median Survival is 9 - 12 months
It is described as a ‘rare’ cancer BUT every 9 days a UK child is diagnosed with DIPG.
It is Terminal at diagnosis. It is Inoperable. And it is Untreatable.
Currently every child diagnosed with DIPG faces the same heartbreaking outcome: not only will it steal their life, in the process it will shut down every body system and cause untold suffering.
The only way to stop this happening to other children is to fund promising DIPG Research in the vital search for a Treatment and ultimately a Cure.
The aim of the fund is to raise money to invest in approved DIPG Research to give future kids a fighting chance.
