  • Nate Waggoner was a normal active teenager until he was diagnosed with DIPG, the deadliest form of pediatric brain cancer. In this story you can see what kind of kid Nathan was and how his family continues to fight in his memory.

    No child or anyone else should ever have to suffer and pass from cancer.

      You're right but totally not realistic, cancer really sucks but crying about its unfairness is unrealistic and naive, we need to fight it hard, crying about how horrible it is helps absolutely no one, fight, fight, fight that's what we have to do, indeed it's all we can do at this point.

    Thank you for sharing the story of your son, and for all the fundraising efforts you’re continuing in his honor. My precious niece Rachel died at the age of 6 from a DIPG, and like you said, watching this tumor steal bit after bit of her life away was agonizing and heartbreaking. Her legs were the first to be affected, and she needed a wheelchair quite quickly after her diagnosis, and then her speech went. She kept up her sweet and positive spirit despite what was happening to her, but tragically she passed exactly 8 weeks later. My brother and his wife made the decision to donate her brain/tumor to science so it could be studied, in the hopes of finding a cure. Again, thank you for all the good you’re doing to help raise money for research, and I’m sending you prayers of comfort in the loss of your precious son 🙏🏻

God bless you both and i hope you continue to bring attention and change in memory of Nate.

      It's got me too. My teenage son played football. The boys were like family to him. We lost him shortly before he graduated high school (he'd been scouted for college too... I was so proud). A few days later his team held a fun game in his memory. I have a dauguter too, and the boys let her play and win. I have this one photo of my 7 year-old little girl running with this mob of boys behind her and next to her......
      There are still beautiful moments out there. And some damn good people, too.
      Much love to all, especially Nathan's family. 💙

Happy that these parents continue to support the foundations that are trying to find a cure from these diseases and hope soon they find a cure.
