💔 Miracle for Mikeal’s Legacy Foundation

As We Wrap Up “Go Grey in May”…

This May, as we close out Brain Tumor Awareness Month, we want to share a few honest and heartfelt reflections:
• Sadly, we did not raise any funds to support a family with a child battling DIPG.
• We also did not receive any requests for assistance or nominations of children currently fighting DIPG.

We know we’re still in the early stages of getting our foundation back up and running — but our purpose hasn’t changed. We are here to honor Mikeal’s dream and support families walking the same heartbreaking path she once walked.

Right now, we are completely crowd-funded, and every single dollar truly makes a difference.

We also understand the pressure so many are under in today’s economic climate. That’s why we’re hoping to come together with our supporters, even in small ways, to do something meaningful.

🤍 Even if we raise a modest amount, we will turn it into a gift card for a family with a child currently battling DIPG — something to bring them comfort, joy, or relief in a very hard time.

If you can:
• Donate
• Share this post
• Nominate a family

We’d be so grateful. Let’s make Mikeal’s legacy shine for another family in need.

💛 💜With love,
Miracle for Mikeal’s Legacy Foundation

Miracle for Mikeal’s Legacy Foundation
Go Grey in May – Brain Cancer Awareness
Shining a Light on DIPG

DIPG (Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma):
A rare, aggressive childhood brain tumor.
Incurable. Untreatable. Inoperable. Terminal.



INCURABLE – No cure exists. No path to recovery.
UNTREATABLE – No effective treatment.
INOPERABLE – Surgery is not an option.
TERMINAL – It will lead to death.
MEDICAL TRIALS – Experimental options still in testing, like immunotherapy and radiation.



Doctor: Your child has a brain tumor. It’s DIPG.
Me: What’s DIPG?
Doctor: An incurable, untreatable, inoperable childhood brain tumor. It’s terminal. There is a clinical trial — immunotherapy with radiation — but the best thing you can do is make memories.
Me: [heartbreaking silence]



This May, Go Grey. Raise Awareness. Honor the Children. Fund the Fight.
In Memory of Mikeal. For every child still fighting.

Hey Miracle for Mikeal’s Legacy Foundation supporters!

It’s May — and you know what that means… Go Grey in May!
May is Brain Cancer Awareness Month and we’re kicking it off with love, purpose, and passion.

This month, we want to do something incredibly special for families with a child fighting DIPG. Our goal is to gift as many families as possible with:
• A care package for the whole family
• A personal gift for their brave DIPG warrior
• And a financial gift to help ease their burden

But we can’t make this magic happen without YOU.
We’re asking for donations — as small as $1 or as big as your heart desires. The more we raise, the more families we can support!

We’ve created a GoFundMe specifically for this mission, but we’re also accepting donations via Venmo, PayPal, Apple Pay, and even Chime to make giving super convenient.

All month long, we’ll be sharing:
• Brain cancer facts
• Stories and pictures of real DIPG warriors
• Inspiring DIPG foundations and pages doing amazing work

The biggest ways you can help:
Donate. Follow. Share, share, share!

Together, we can bring hope, love, and light to families facing the unimaginable.

With gratitude and heart,
The Miracle for Mikeal’s Legacy Foundation

Mikeal’s Story

Mikeal was diagnosed with a brain cancer called DIPG.

Her symptoms were pretty mild - in October 2018 Mikeal noticed her right eye was not blinking in sync with her left eye. It was so unnoticeable that even when she showed her mother she could not see it. But she noticed.

- her mom took her to the doctor in November for what appeared to be pink eye. With just a glance at her eye the doc prescribed eye drops.

-The issue with Mikeal’s eye subsided
