Cristian Rivera Foundation - Full Steam Ahead

The Cristian Rivera Foundation is a non-profit organization dedicated to fighting an inoperable brain stem tumor called Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma (DIPG).

Welcome to the Cristian Rivera Foundation! After losing his son to DIPG, Cristian’s life inspired his father, John “Gungie” Rivera, to start CRF. We are a group working to end Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma by funding research and supporting families. https://t.co/nECr32tOkG
