@UrFriendCarolyn @LillyOncMed I'm curious what data that you have that links high grade glioma to the lack of breast feeding. My understanding is from published research is that most driver mutations for high grade glioma happen in utero. Speaking as a mom that has lost her son to high grade glioma.

Max would be 15 today — always and forever 12.
Not just a friend, but a son, a brother, and a bright soul who lived with kindness, strength, and heart.
His light still shines — in memories, in laughter, and in the work of the max pound foundation.

Today, we carry on that tradition of generosity in Max’s honor. And yes, if you knew Max, you know this was the go-to “collared shirt”! Join us this Giving Tuesday to make a difference for kids and families battling pediatric brain cancer. https://t.co/l89TR7V70N #UnleashHope

Three years ago, our Giving Tuesday looked a little different.

We walked into CNMC with 5K in gift cards. That donation came after countless “Mom, you’re kidding me—how much did we raise?!” moments. He LOVED it. But what he loved even more was giving it all away.

If you lost a Child, the most beautiful word you can hear is their name. ❤️

For 2024 ACS is predicting that odds of a kid getting #ChildhoodCancer in the USA are now 1 in 257 compared to 1 in 260 which was the number for 2023, before that 1 in 285 children were predicted to get cancer. @cac2org @HappyQuailPress @KoontzOncology @leezawilllshe @JanHalash

#givingtuesday consider donating to spark change for kids with pediatric brain cancer.

[Carol Pound @carol_pound]

November starts the season of giving and also marks the month that we were thrown into the world of pediatric cancer three years ago. Consider taking a pause and consider contributing to a wonderful cause. Help us fund more research for kids like Max! https://t.co/3aIWEXZmJF

@shitscaredmum the most beautiful thing 💙

Today at 7:33pm it will be 10 months. Not sure how time flies that fast. Wearing our AlfaRomeo hats but always #teamMAX

[Carol Pound @carol_pound]

It is with the heaviest, saddest, and most heartbroken heart that I share that Max has passed away. He was perhaps the most perfect 12 yo, with the biggest smile, the best hug, and the most gracious being. God speed little man....
