Why I'm raising money for the Brainchild Foundation .

The Brainchild Foundation began with my own personal experience with Brain Tumours in 2011 when one of my best friends daughter was diagnosed with a tumour in her brainstem called a Diffuse Pontine Glioma (DPG) at the age of 10 years. She was given 6-9 months to live. Having a daughter at the same age really hit home how everything can change in an instant.
I knew I wanted to help in any way I could. One way to help was to make information widely known that this Childhood Brain Cancer was not rare and also not well known about in our community.
To then have another family member diagnosed with a very similar, more aggressive Brain Tumour known as Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma (DIPG) 3 years later was a devastating life-changing time for our whole family. Little Alexia was only over 2 years old when diagnosed and passed away at age 5 after a long and hard battle with many treatments which took her all over the world to find hope.
So it is one of my most important goals in life to make more people aware of this childhood killer along with much needed funding to promote more research, to hopefully find a cure.
DIPG has zero survival rate and has been this way for many years. Brain Cancer and Tumour research receives very little funding compared to other cancers. Also very little government funding. This needs to change if we are to get better results and survival rates to increase.
It is my aim to change this in any way I can so please support me and my goal in any way you can to spread the word and all work towards a cure for our children.

Your support is much needed.
