After experiencing periods of double vision, headaches, and dizziness, Ray was diagnosed with DIPG/DMG in March of 2019. At the recommendation of his neuro oncology team, Ray completed 6 weeks of radiation with concurrent chemotherapy. He continued chemotherapy for 12 additional months, completing all treatment in June of 2020. Ray's tumor showed significant improvement after treatment, his symptoms resolved, and his tumor has remained stable over the last 3 1/2 years. Currently, he is monitored with MRIs every 6 months and is not receiving treatment.

Ray continues to enjoy his family, career, and volunteer opportunities. Ray is an amazing husband to his wife, Katie, and loving father to his 4 daughters, Lynzie, Lillie, Eden, and Jade. Even small donations can make a large difference!
