Meet Ashley, your Family Support Resource:
At 7 years old, our youngest of four sons, William, was diagnosed with a rare CNS Embryonal Tumor. He bravely battled for 14 months before trading his sword for wings in February 2024. Through our family’s journey, I experienced firsthand the fear, uncertainty, and overwhelming amount of information families face after a brain cancer diagnosis. I also witnessed the powerful impact of family and community, along with the deep connections formed with other families facing a similar battle.
With a background in Counseling and a lifelong passion for helping others, I feel called to walk alongside families navigating a similar path. My hope is to provide support, understanding, and connection to those at any point in their journey. I do this work because of William. His story guides my mission to support families and advocate for change. In his honor, I am committed to the mission of The Cure Starts Now to find the homerun cure for pediatric brain cancer, because “incurable” is unacceptable.
