We have matching funds this year, so please read, watch the video (above) and please donate! Matching funds means your donation of $150 turns into $300 with the click of your mouse! Please read on and join us this year. It REALLY, REALLY matters.
In June of 2017, a sweet kid named Cooper Deming was stolen from us by a brutal brain cancer called DIPG. My kids, Tyler and Sarah, grew up with Cooper—playing baseball with him and admiring his kind, gentle nature. He was just 12 years old when the disease struck, and it took him from us within a very painful year.
Since 2018, Team Climb for Coop has been riding the Courage Classic, raising funds for Denver’s Children’s Hospital’s research programs, determined to end the awfulness of DIPG.
When Cooper fell ill, very little progress had been made. But right now, we are in the most exciting moment in DIPG research ever. Technology finally exists to target this cancer with personalized, precision treatments—like CAR T-cell therapies moving from the lab to the clinic.
This year, we have a massive opportunity: a 2x matching fund. There has truly never been a better or more critical time to give. Please take a moment to watch the video above, read our story, and join us in making a difference. Thank you so very much. Julie
