Support Tess in her Fight against Brain Cancer

In March 2023, we suddenly found out Tess had a mass in her brain that immediately required two brain surgeries followed by six weeks of Chemotherapy and Radiation. She was diagnosed with Grade 4 Diffuse Midline Glioma of the Thalamus with an extremely rare and aggressive mutation (H3K27M) that disqualifies her from continuing the standard of care treatment. Since she is no longer eligible, she will be responsible for the financial burden of any clinical trials or medications moving forward. Tess has been handling all out-of-pocket costs until this point, but her medical leave will end in September, and she will no longer have medical benefits or job security. Any money donated will be used to pay medical bills for the clinical trial she is currently in (ONC201) as well as any necessary trials she may be considered for in the future. Any amount you're willing to contribute would be greatly appreciated; if you are unable to contribute money at this time, please share with others. Thank you!
