Avery died in her mother's arms on Mother's Day. There is a touching video on YouTube recording the moment when she left this world.

Christi was a brave girl with multiple talents (she was also a member of Mensa) and a passion for sports. She also raised over $12,000 for cancer research by making and selling lemonade (of course this was before 2006 and would be much more today). She battled brain cancer (not DIPG) for almost half of her life (since she was 5).

Ruby was another little girl full of life, beautiful both within and without, like all these wonderful warriors. Read her story, and also more about DIPG, here.

Gabriella was a wonderful cancer advocate who raised over $300,000 for childhood cancer, founded her own website called Smashing Walnuts to find a cure for childhood brain cancer, co-authored a children's book on cancer and was also a public speaker.

Evie was another DIPG warrior and a very talented painter. One of her paintings sold at a charity auction for $100,000 after her death. The proceedings will be used for DIPG research. Thank you, Evie, for creating such a masterpiece while fighting your battle against DIPG, and thank you to Jo Kinghorn too, who was the highest bidder.

Avalanna was a huge fan of Justin Bieber, and when he heard of his young fan dying of cancer he flew her and her family to New York on Valentine's Day and married her in a pretend ceremony. That's why Avalanna is also known as "Mrs. Bieber".

Erin made history through her participation in a gene therapy trial and in 2013 received a Children's Week Award for her advocacy work in raising childhood cancer awareness. By a coincidence, Marie drew her on the very day Erin was diagnosed with DIPG (the day, not the year of course).

Lucille was a child actress in the silent film era. Sie died of tuberculosis. 

Thank you, Marie, for contributing in such a wonderful way to DIPG research, including in your Last Will!
