Doctors said 10-year-old Aralyn Slack has a rare brain tumor called diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG).
HIGHLAND COUNTY, Ohio - An Ohio community is rallying to support a 10-year-old who was diagnosed with a terminal illness.In response, her community has scheduled events all month to help her family raise money to ensure Aralyn gets to cross off every wish she’s made on a bucket list she composed. The list includes things like “holding a sloth” and “entering something in a food contest.”.
“Sunday during the day, she started kind of walking off balance, and she fell a couple of times, and before we went to bed that night, she came out of the room to tell me goodnight, and the right side of her face was drooped,” she said.According to“It’s scary, and it’s sad,” Slack said. “But we are going to be strong. We decided that our souls are built enough to have worry and faith together, so we’re going to push out the worry.”, which is a known leader in DIPG research.
Aralyn has received a huge amount of support, including receiving a number of cards from well-wishers after her diagnosis.The softball game will take place at Lynchburg Clay High School.“Her first game is Monday,” Slack said. “They got it moved so we can play, and the doctor said it was OK for her to play with her face mask, and it will probably be the only one she gets to play.”
A GoFundMe has also been set up to raise money for Aralyn and her family. Visit here to make a donation.
