We are proud partners of the Cristian Rivera Foundation — working to find a cure for DIPG, a rare and devastating pediatric brain cancer.
What is D.I.P.G.?
D.I.P.G. — Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma — is a rare, inoperable brain stem tumor that predominantly affects children between the ages of 2 and 10.
Approximately 200 cases are diagnosed in the United States each year. The average life expectancy after diagnosis is 3 to 18 months. For decades, it was considered a death sentence.
Thanks to groundbreaking clinical trials, two candidates are now heading into their 5th year of life with D.I.P.G. — with no signs of tumor growth. We are closer than ever to a cure. But we need your help to get there.
The Cristian Rivera Foundation.
The Cristian Rivera Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that works tirelessly to raise awareness and fund D.I.P.G. clinical research. A small organization making enormous contributions to the medical community.
CRF has supported some of the top research programs and neurological surgeons in the country — including clinical trials that are producing results once thought impossible.
