Episode 30: Rainbows for Ruby: A Mother’s Mission to Raise DIPG Awareness

In this heartfelt episode, Von sits down with Hannah, the courageous mother of Ruby, a vibrant six-year-old whose life was tragically cut short by 'diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma' (DIPG). DIPG is a rare and devastating form of cancer, primarily diagnosed in kids, there are no treatments, no cure, and median survival is less than 1 year. Hannah shares the deeply personal story of Ruby’s diagnosis, her battle with the disease, and the incredible strength, joy and kindness Ruby displayed throughout her journey. We also explore Hannah’s ongoing mission to honor Ruby’s legacy through Rainbow for Ruby, raising awareness and funding research to fight DIPG. Join us for an emotional conversation about love, loss, and the urgent need for hope in the face of childhood cancer.
