Inspired by Jules

Julian had a huge imagination, stacks of books and baskets full of action figures. He loved suiting up for fierce battles against all sorts of bad guys. Most days he was a mighty superhero. Others, a brave Jedi. Often, he could be seen running through the house as a noble knight. His ultimate villain? Julian faced the deadliest of brain tumors - an inoperable brain stem glioma, also known as a DIPG. Although we lost our sweet boy in July 2011, his character and courage inspired many to fight back. The Team Julian Foundation is determined to continue Julian's fight - seeking out and supporting progressive research to help give kids and their families a fighting chance against pediatric brain tumors. We invite you to join our effort at The Team Julian Foundation.
