Cancer is a devastating disease that not only impacts the life of the person receiving the diagnosis, but also the lives of their loved ones. Battling cancer can be a long and painful journey, and sadly, not everyone who is affected by this disease ends up a winner.
The sad reality is that cancer also affects children of all ages, from newborns and toddlers to preschoolers and teenagers.
Luke Morin and Garrett Matthias were both 5 years old when they lost their young lives to cancer.
Luke only lived 17 days after he was diagnosed with Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma (DIPG)—one of the rarest and most aggressive childhood brain cancers with a zero percent survival rate. His family says that their son “was stollen from them,” and they are doing everything in their power to raise awareness and help raise money in hopes of finding a cure for DIPG.
