About the ChadTough Foundation (Information retrieved from www.chadtough.org)
Chad Carr was a precious, beautiful, fun-loving boy who — on September 23rd, 2014 — was diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor called Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma (DIPG). Three days later, he spent his 4th birthday in the Coach Carr Unit of Mott Children’s Hospital in Ann Arbor, Michigan (The Coach Carr Unit is named after Chad’s grandfather, former University of Michigan football coach Lloyd Carr).
Why Your Donations Matter/Why We Fight Against DIPG
It is important for us to remember Chad and why he was special because it pushes us to continue fighting in his honor.
The most difficult thing about DIPG is the lack of hope. Parents met with the horrific diagnosis are not provided with a standard treatment plan. Instead, they are forced to navigate the disease on their own, conducting their own research and making pivotal choices about their child’s care.
We believe Chad’s story can inspire others to give to a much-needed initiative: DIPG research. With less than 4-percent of the taxpayer-funded National Cancer Institute’s (NCI) annual budget directed toward pediatric cancer (not DIPG or pediatric brain tumors, but all pediatric cancers), family foundations must be the driving force for change.
