Anthony’s Avengers DIPG Foundation

We are dedicated to raising awareness and funds for research to find a cure for DIPG.

Our inspiration, warrior and lead Avenger, Anthony, bravely battled DIPG for 19 months. The Anthony’s Avengers DIPG Foundation was established to raise awareness and funds for research to find a cure for Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma (DIPG), and to honor the legacy of our hero, Anthony Pappalas.

Today marks the first day of Childhood Cancer Awareness Month. 🎗️🧡

While families facing childhood cancer live this fight every single day, this month gives us an opportunity to come together, raise awareness, honor the warriors and angels who have been affected, and shine a light on the urgent need for better treatments and a cure.

Together, we can make a difference. 🎗️🧡

Today we said goodbye to our dear friend and supporter, Bridgette.
Bridgette was one of the strongest fighters we have ever known, no matter what she was going through she always thought of others. She was a force, she loved her children fiercely and fought so hard so she could stay here with them.
Today if you could please take a moment to say a prayer and send some love to Layla, Tyler and her family and friends.
We will miss you, Bridgette. Please watch over us down here.
And Bridge…please do me a favor from up there…give Anthony a hug from his mom.
We love you and will Miss you terribly.

The day our lives were changed forever.
11 years ago.
It’s crazy how life can change in one quick moment. I’ll never understand why this happened, or why Anthony was chosen to fight this battle. One thing I can say is I’ve never in my life seen someone fight something with such grace, courage and positivity. He sure showed his mom how to live and how to never give up, even when the odds are against you.
I’ll never give up fighting for you, Anthony James. I love you to the Great Red Spot and back. 🧡
