Phoebe’s Story
Phoebe’s name was chosen for its meaning “radiant light.” She was born with congenital heart disease and had open-heart surgery at 8 weeks old. She was then diagnosed with an aggressive, incurable brain tumor- diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG) at the age of 3. Phoebe managed to shine her light for 29 months when only 6-9 months were expected. Now it’s up to us to carry her light every day.

Illuminate. Enlighten. Inspire.
With your help, we can “illuminate” a very dark period in the lives of many families, “enlighten” others regarding the importance of funding research in pediatric cancers, and “inspire” others to take up our cause in support of families facing pediatric illnesses!
