Another Tool

We are beginning this blog with the idea that it will be a place for people to obtain news and updates on what's going on in the DIPG community. We see it as another resource for sharing information regarding our children, treatments, diagnosis, and the work parents and others do to honor the memories of the children taken by a DIPG.

This is definitely a work in process and we'll see how it develops. We expect this will always be an informal place where we can post thoughts, ideas, and ramblings.

Thanks for checking in on us.
