Story
DIPG is a horrible form of brain tumor that grows in the midline of the brain (in between the two halfs of the brain), making it impossible for surgery to be possible, and effects children aged 5-10 most commonly, and as of right now is completely uncurable, and 100% fatal, and children diagnosed typically are given 1 year to live.
This condition was brought to my attention after i heard about Kevin, a young Minecraft fan who was incredibly excited to watch a Minecraft Movie, but unfortunately isn't expected to be with us when the film releases, and the team behind the film generously set up a no expenses spared, month early screening for him to be able to see the movie, he got all the merch and even got to hang out with the actors.
This story really hit me hard as no child should have to go through this, no family should have to cope with this, an uncurable, 100% fatal brain cancer. The Minecraft community can be such a loving, tight knit community and I really hope we can all band together to help raise some money for such an incredible cause and hopefully we can put an end to such an upsetting form of cancer.
Chad Tough are an incredible organisation that have helped Kevin's family immensely, you can read more about his story here.
