PROudLY SUPPORTING RUNDIPG
In 2025, we are proud to continue our support of the charity RUN DIPG.
We’ll be donating $1 for every entrant and plus giving everyone the opportunity to donate further as part of their registration.
WHAT IS DIPG?
DIPG (diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma) is the most-deadly form of childhood cancer (it makes up 10-15% of all brain tumours in children), and we want to help them find a cure.
THE HORRIFIC STATS
This type of brain tumour primarily affects children, with most diagnoses occurring between 5 and 7 years of age or younger. Unfortunately, a child diagnosed with DIPG today faces the same prognosis as a child diagnosed 40 years ago.
There is still no effective treatment, and a very poor chance of survival with only 10% of children with DIPG survive for 2 years following their diagnosis, and less than 1% survive for 5 years. The median survival time is 9 months from diagnosis.
