From Logan's 2nd mum: We went to Rothesay today to remember Logan on the day before his 4 year anniversary. 4 years since he died aged 3. Heโ€™s been dead longer than he lived. Let that sink in. We sat on his beautiful memorial bench. A memorial bench for a 3 yo. Let that sink in

DIPG (Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma) affects mainly children - average age at diagnosis is just 6 years... My grandson, Logan, was not quite 3 years old on diagnosis...he never saw his 4th birthday ๐Ÿ’” Please be aware, support childhood cancer research & a cure ๐ŸŽ—๏ธ

Weโ€™re coming to the end of #braintumourawarenessmonth and I wanted to let you know a bit more about DIPG. DIPG is short for Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma. It completely ravages its victims - mostly all young children like Billy.
