Elle's Angels Foundation was started in November 2021 in honor of our 5 year old daughter, Elle, who passed from an inoperable brain tumor called DIPG. Elle was a kind, compassionate and resilient, little girl who inspired many throughout her journey.
Brain cancer kills more kids than any other type, and DIPG is responsible for almost half of all pediatric brain cancer deaths. With a nearly 0% survival rate and less than 1% of federal cancer research funding earmarked for ALL types of pediatric brain cancer. Doctors and hospitals rely on DIPG families with supporters like you to help fund their cancer research efforts. Please help join us in our fight against DIPG.
All proceeds will go to Elle’s Angels Foundation, whose mission is to fund essential research to discover effective treatments for pediatric brain cancer, with a focus on DIPG. To learn more about Elle's Angels Foundation, please visit us at www.ellesangelsfoundation.org
