At almost six years old, Bo is busy with kindergarten, soccer, scooter rides, and being the youngest of four. Three years ago, his family’s world changed when he was diagnosed with a pilocytic astrocytoma.

Today, Bo is thriving — and his story is a powerful reminder of why every step forward in brain tumor research matters.

As Childhood Cancer Awareness Month comes to a close, read Bo’s story and learn how continued research can bring more hope and more tomorrows to children and families impacted by a brain tumor diagnosis.
