We love you so very much Mason! 

Just a day or so ago my daughter Tricia took her son Mason to the eye doctor because he complained of double vision.  The eye doctor sent them to their regular doctor and before anyone could breathe again, Mason was on his way home.  

Home because he was diagnosed with Difuse Intrinic Pontine Glioma (DIPG). This is the deadliest childhood brain tumor. It is a highly aggressive and difficult to treat brain tumor found at the base of the brain with 0% survival rate. 

Mason will need daily raidiation, 5 times a week for 6 weeks.  The radiation could potentially reduce symptoms for a few months with no change on life expectancy.

The tumor grows through the brain stem where breathing and heart beat are controlled. 

Mason is only eight years old and just last fall joined Cub Scouts.  He absolutely loves his adventures with the other Scouts. He always has a smile for you and long story about what is going on in his world.   He has two brothers, Collin (12)  and Miles (4).  

The family needs prayers most of all, but some financial relief as they can’t work right now with their dad Greg home to take care of the boys now while Mom Tricia takes Mason to radiation daily. 

Please help them in anyway you can, financially and/or with prayers as it is breaking all of our hearts trying to cope and help each other through this most difficult time in our lives. Please use discretion in sharing this information with children who may be Mason's peers as he remains unaware of the gravity of his diagnosis and his parents wish to preserve this.  

Mason, along with his parents and brothers, grandparents, uncles, aunts and cousins thank you! 

We love you so very much Mason.
