Mission
The Warrior Jace Foundation was formed In honor of Jace Kinley Thompson to raise money to fund clinical trial research to find better treatment options and ultimately a cure for DIPG (pediatric brain cancer). Pediatric cancers of all kinds only receive about 4% of the National Cancer Institute's funds each year. DIPG is considered the worse of all pediatric brain cancers. There is no cure. Children are considered terminal upon diagnosis. Jace passed away 347 days after diagnosis. He lost all of his physical capabilities - walking, talking, eating, sitting up, holding his head up and seeing. Sadly, he was cognizant of his suffering. Our children deserve a chance to live. We must do all we can do to help researchers find a cure for this most horrible of all pediatric brain cancers.
