ChadTough Defeat DIPG Foundation

The ChadTough Defeat DIPG Foundation is a non-profit organization that raises money to fund pediatric brain cancer research. Brain cancer kills more kids than any other type, and DIPG (diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma) is responsible for almost half of all pediatric brain cancer deaths. With a nearly 0% survival rate and less than 1% of federal cancer research funding earmarked for ALL types of pediatric brain cancer, it’s no surprise that the standard of care has not changed in the six decades since Neil Armstrong’s daughter died of DIPG. But thanks primarily to DIPG families like the Carrs, who have channeled their grief into an effort to fund game-changing research on DIPG, doctors have begun to discover breakthrough treatments that are showing great promise, so much so that they now believe a cure will be found in our lifetime.
