The Ayla Foundation is on a mission to raise awareness, raise funds, and to provide hope for the children and families diagnosed with pediatric brain cancers, specifically DIPG. The foundation is named after Tim and Erin Slivka’s forever six year old angel, Ayla Grace, who passed away from DIPG on June 29th, 2022. The more awareness we can create, the more funding we can raise for clinical research. The more clinical research, the more advancements in treatment options for pediatric brain cancer. More treatment options means hope for these young warriors and their families.
