Despair over the loss of their child coupled with frustration over a lack of available treatment options led Tamara and Brian Ekis to form the Reflections Of Grace Foundation in their daughter’s memory. The name – Reflections Of Grace – signifies the effect their child had on the lives of those she touched over the course of her short life. As its mission, the Reflections Of Grace Foundation is dedicated to:
• Providing financial, emotional, and educational support for the families of children affected by pediatric brain cancer.
• Raising awareness of all types of pediatric brain tumors, with a particular focus on Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma (DIPG), sometimes known as Brainstem Glioma.
• Joining with other like-minded organizations in educating, aiding and funding the search for a cure for DIPG and other forms of pediatric brain cancer, in the hope of curing all cancers.
Reflections Of Grace Foundation, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization as designated by the Internal Revenue Code.
