DIPG has the poorest diagnosis of all brain tumors. Each year, an average of 200 children in the U.S are diagnosed with this type of tumor.
DIPG is almost a 100% death sentence at time of diagnosis. Median survival from the time of diagnosis is 6-9 months. Fewer than 1% will survive past 18 months.

Our Mission:
Joshua’s Wish , Inc. was formed primarily to conduct fundraising to support medical research in finding a cure for pediatric brain tumors. Joshua’s Wish, Inc. also exists to financially assist families of children who have cancer and are undergoing treatment, and to raise awareness of childhood cancer.
Our Goals:
Our goal is to raise awareness of childhood cancer. The public is unaware that childhood cancers are the #1 disease killer of children. By raising awareness we hope to fund much needed research that will lead to a cure!!
In memory of Joshua our goal is to raise funds to benefit St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, clinical trials, and other medical organizations that are researching for a cure.
