What started as an effort to help his eyes led to discovering a DIPG tumor in his brain stem. We are fighting for every good day we can have together and hope some day we can find the cure to stop this cancer.

"There has been such strength and resilience shown by warriors and their families in the Cure Starts Now community. Thanks to these families, who in honoring their loved ones have worked to fund the research towards the Homerun Cure. We know that Ryland has clinical trials and opportunities other kids have not had. We are all in on the war against DIPG and fighting for our son to have good days and more of them." - The Kautz Family
