He impacted the world in a big way. You can tell his smile light up a room!
This is a miracle I pray that this becomes an option to as many as possible
How strong his parents and the whole family is.. I’m so sorry for your lost and I hope that he is happy up there.. 🤍🤍 Rest in peace Jace 🙏🏻🙏🏻
My brother was 55 when he passed away from DPIG. He sadly only lasted 2 months from start to finish. I'm so grateful for the 2 extra months. Two months ago my cousin was diagnosed with DPIG. SHE'S in her 70's. 😢😢
Thank you for sharing this story & for your son's bravery.
Thanks for sharing your story! Bless your family!❤❤
How brave. He is a hero
Nicole was an amazing woman. Growing up with her is how I knew. I miss her but her memory gives me strength
Sorry for your loss i was just wondering did you try giving him guanabana oil or lots of vitamin c ?
Every time I watch or read a story about kids of all ages with cancer 😭💔 just devastates me be cause our 7 yr old son was diagnosed with cancer osteosarcoma we were devastated we knew the life our little family had was gone and being thrown into hospital after hospital and operations and of course chemo he was allergic to methotrexate swelled up like a balloon 😭 we did not know it was possible to CRY SO MUCH ! I’m so sorry your family had to go through this nightmare ❤️
We love Jace and miss him he is still here in spirit bless you wonderful parents love you guys stay safe and were thinking of you ❤Bless you
😭😭😭
Wow!! I'm so glad some Americans have enough money to actually be able to fly privately to be treated by the best team of doctors and can afford top of the line medicines and trials. Meanwhile us poor people have to watch our loved ones die with no help or treatment because of money. Sorry for your loss.
why would you comment this on this video? these parents lost their son and are proud they made a difference for treatments of this cancer and youre here talking about government related issues?? you’re a horrible person.
My daughter 😢😢😢😢 is suffering from this disease!
My son was diagnosed on november the 11th 😢 give her lots of guanabana extrac oil and tea also lots of vitamin c best luck we both need a miracle
Rest in Heaven, Jace. He was such a strong young man that always was helping others
🙃 'Promosm'
You are amazing and strong! May Jace’s memory be a blessing.
FANTASTIC VIDEO EWF!! Wow, this gives me chill bumps! Love you all so much! Glad that Nan was in a few segments as well! ♥️♥️♥️🙏🙏🙏👼👼👼🌟🌟🌟
A wonderful family and their sons loss and their journey😢
You two look so strong for a couple who have lost a son.
PERIPHERAL vision.... DIFFUSE Intrinsic Pontine Glioma.
So sorry for the loss of your beautiful son.
Thank you Jace. The fact that it did something is a miracle. DIPG usually has no treatment.
Beautiful family ❤️
I’ve seen a lot of videos on dipg & it sounds so awful, not that cancer in general isn’t. Were they reading cue cards? Because if not, the way they were able to word this whole thing was amazing!
There is a perfect answer for DIPG, and every disease known… His name is Jesus. Psalm 103 1Bless the LORD, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name. 2Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits: 3Who forgives all your iniquities; who heals all your diseases; 4Who redeems your life from destruction; who crowns you with loving kindness and tender mercies; 5Who satisfies your mouth with good things; so that your youth is renewed like the eagle's.
Amen, my believing son died from cancer aged 18 and his hope was in His Lord!
You are out of your mind! You religious nuts are unbelievable.
Love all the children who are going through this and all types of cancer 🎅🎄⛄🎍🎋🤶🎄💖
My you both so brave to do this video love to all your family ✨🕊️✨🕊️✨🕊️✨🕊️✨
This is beautiful. Nicole was a strong fighter and gave everything to research for the future. I have the privilege of caring for her little mascot dog Sir Bentley for his retirement years. I miss that beautiful girl..
they are more than an amazing family....I was sick in hospital last year and nearly died of Sepsis. I had on the bracelet that I got saying I can't die I'm busy that the family sent me. I reached out to Lisa because I was scared and I couldn't have family in due to covid. She sent me the nicest most uplifting heartfelt message I have ever received. I still have it. This all while her beautiful Jace was so sick. She helped a complete stranger days before her own son died. I have no words. I now advocate for this cause whenever I can. We held a BBQ this summer at my work and sent all the proceeds to "The Cure Starts Now" Jace you started it and I'm going to help all I can to finish it. Thank you to Ward family for all your kindness and for giving the world Jace when we needed it. Hugs to you all!!!!!
Thank U for sharing. Even though it is Soo hard. He is with u in every speck of the Universe. Always!. Remember THAT. He is Never Gone. He Now Surrounds u with LOVE.
What wonderful parents to share this story so eloquently. Bless you.
I lost my brother to this disease in India with practically no treatment. My heart goes out to you.
No words just love and hugs ❤🎆
Wow
What a beautiful family. You parents are extraordinary. The love and passion in your voice is so honorable as well as continuing on this quest to help strangers. I can only imagine what a fantastic kid you have you know the apple never falls far from the tree. I pray your journey comes to an end with 100% cure rate soon. Lynn, Dodge City, KS
Emily is still alive in 2022.!! ❤️🙏
Brave young man!
I pray for a cure. And, I pray for comfort for you, as only Jesus can. God bless you. ❤️🙏
What a wonderful family
God bless him he is what I like to call a hero he went big.
Wow
What a inspired story that must be difficult to share. My heart goes out to you and my head tells me you've done your best. It must have been a gift to have that time with him. It's so hard to convey the multitudes of perspective of what you've gone/still going through but doing this is amazing.
From someone who lives in Kansas City too, I am so sorry for your loss. What a handsome young man who along with his family battled a fight unlike no other. Thank you for sharing his/your story.
My nephew died at almost 2 years old with dipg
I look forward to the day when death from cancer, as well as its toxic treatments that are currently normal, belong to history museums
Hello everyone, I’m here to share my great testimony on how I got cured of my Diabetes with the natural herbal medication I ordered from Dr Igudia on his UA-cam channel
Hearts to you all!
I'm so deeply sorry.
Luke 13:1-5 New Living Translation A Call to Repentance 13 About this time Jesus was informed that Pilate had murdered some people from Galilee as they were offering sacrifices at the Temple. 2 “Do you think those Galileans were worse sinners than all the other people from Galilee?” Jesus asked. “Is that why they suffered? 3 Not at all! And you will perish, too, unless you repent of your sins and turn to God. 4 And what about the eighteen people who died when the tower in Siloam fell on them? Were they the worst sinners in Jerusalem? 5 No, and I tell you again that unless you repent, you will perish, too.”
Read a proper book!
GOD BLESS YOU ALL 🙏 ❤️ AMEN FOR YOU SON 🙏
