Yesterday, we posted about Believe in Brooke and Beat DIPG 5K, a event that brought the community together to support Brooke Blake, an 8 year old Barlow Elementary School student who is battling DIPG, an aggressive form of pediatric brain cancer.
Brooke is currently battling to beat the odds by participating in a clinical trial at The Children's Brain Tumor Project at Weill Cornell Brain & Spine Center. Funds raised during the 5K will be donated to directly to the Center.
Local photog Claudia Pacifico captured memories of a heartwarming day filled with smiles and hope. Thank you Claudia for sharing them with our readers!
If you were unable to participate in Sunday's 5K, donations will be accepted through the end of October. Make a donation here.
Look for additional Believe in Brooke fundraising events in the coming months!
