Dear friends and family,

Thank you for joining us in the fight against pediatric brain tumors! Many people are unaware that children battling brain cancer lack specific treatments tailored to their needs. Instead, they undergo therapies designed for adults, adjusted for their smaller bodies. The mission at Angels Among Us is clear: to fund research aimed at finding a cure specifically for children, enabling them to lead fulfilling lives.

Every donation you make to Angels Among Us goes directly to research, offering hope to children like Myla, who was diagnosed with a pediatric low grade glioma (pLGG) brain tumor at just 15 months old. Despite enduring multiple rounds of chemotherapy and countless medical procedures, Myla remains resilient, embodying strength and sweetness in equal measure.

Thanks to research supported by Angels Among Us, Myla completed a groundbreaking pediatric trial for kids with pLGG in June 2023. This treatment, tailored for kids like her, has allowed her to embrace life fully—taking dance and gymnastics classes, playing soccer and softball, and so many other things she loves. This treatment was approved by the FDA and is now available as Ojemda for other kids! Myla has now gone 18 months with her MRIs showing no tumor growth!!!! We are so thankful!

Behind every brave child like Myla stands devoted caregivers and cheerleaders. Myla's little sister, Ava, is her unwavering source of support, reminding us all of the importance of family and community in times of struggle.

Your continued support sustains our efforts to make a difference in the lives of children battling brain tumors. With your help, we can fund critical research that brings hope, healing, and the promise of a brighter future for children like Myla.

Together, let's keep the spirit of hope alive as we strive to create a world where pediatric brain tumors are no longer a threat.

With so much love,

Team Myla
