Story
Adalynn “Addie Mae” was the most beautiful, happy soul! She was a little farm girl! She was diagnosed with DIPG in July of 2020. Addie Mae had a secondary cancer as well called Leptomeningeal disease. She was so unbelievably tough and resilient and constantly beat all the odds stacked against her. Addie Mae gained her angel wings in May of 2021. During her fight she underwent 40 sessions of radiation and participated in two clinical trials made possible by the funding of The Cure Starts Now.
