Story
Julia was a sweet, bright, beautiful and sassy 6 year old girl, who loved to dance and sing, and warmed the hearts of her family and friends. She got sick in August 2017, and her family was given the worst diagnosis imaginable--Julia had DIPG, an inoperable, incurable brain tumor.
Over the next 19 months, she powered through several rounds of radiation at Penn Medicine as a patient at CHOP and started a trial drug up at NYU, but sadly DIPG took her life in March of 2019.
