About the Braden James Fund
Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma (DIPG) is the deadliest pediatric cancer: 90% of children diagnosed with this incurable disease die within two years, and fewer than 1% survive five years. The Braden James Fund was formed in memory of its namesake, who passed away in 2022 at 5.5 years old after an 18-month battle with the disease. The Fund helps children and families battling pediatric brain cancer, including DIPG, cope with this journey through a three-pronged approach: PLAY, ADVOCATE, and CURE.
