We are the Fynn Fighters, family and friends of, and our son, the Mighty Fynn Cox!
On December 16th, 2016, our sweet Fynn (at 7 years old) was diagnosed with DIPG—Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma—a stage four incurable brain tumor with the lowest survival rate of all pediatric cancers. DIPG affects 2-300 kids per year, and has a 5-year survival rate of <1%. The median overall survival of children diagnosed with DIPG is approximately 9 months. With great sorrow, we said goodbye to Fynn on April 9th, 2017.
Now, we know that Fynn, a fighter himself, would expect us to fight for the lives of those still here on earth. So, I'm shaving my head to raise money for childhood cancer research! Did you know that kids' cancers are different from adult cancers? It's true. And childhood cancer research is extremely underfunded. So I decided to do something about it by raising money for cures.
Now I need your help! Will you make a donation? Every dollar makes a difference for the thousands of infants, children, teens, and young adults fighting childhood cancers.
