Medical Advisor

I Could Be Your Child is honored and humbled to announce that Dr. Kathy Warren has accepted our invitation as Medical Advisor for the foundation.

Dr. Warren, a pediatric neuro-oncologist, is well-known in the dipg community as she focuses much of her time and effort to treat children diagnosed with diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma as well as conducting research aimed at increasing knowledge about the disease.

Cheyenne

As is all too often the case, when there is an update on either this blog or the parent site, www.ICouldBeYourChild.org, there is either a new child in the dipg community or a new child in Heaven. Cheyenne Broswell has returned Home. As you go thru your day, if you feel the call to provide anyone a positive word, any of these families would love to hear it. Cheyenne is one of few children who has made it past two years - she almost made five from diagnosis (which is incredible for these kids).

Our family walks in this dipg world, even tho our JJ has gone Home, the little boosts of support we continue to receive - from friends and "strangers" alike lift us up. In that spirit, I direct you to Matthew McGowan's page, http://www.caringbridge.org/cb/inputSiteName.do?method=search&siteName=matthewmcgowan, today is Matthew's 2nd Re-Birthday. The lives that he continues to touch span the globe.

The Giving Doll (found on the Events page) now has its own website, www.thegivingdoll.org.
