Today beautiful little Josie passed away, surrounded by her loving family. Forever four.
Thank you to all of our supporters for your ongoing efforts. We will continue to fight to #enddipg so that, someday, no child & family will have to go through this kind of pain again. #dipg
Today Phoebe, George, Harriet and I shared Jojo’s last breath
Words cannot describe our pain

For years, researchers have been unable to find reliable ways to get past the blood brain barrier.🎗With this new grant, Dr. Tsoli hopes to create a “key” to open the barrier to all types of treatments for brain cancers.👏 @CureStartsNow
