I don't really see the point of this DIPG Awareness Day thing. I mean, it's great to raise awareness for pediatric cancers and all, but why do we need a whole day for it? Seems like a waste of time and resources to me. I'd rather see that energy put into actually finding cures for these diseases. Just my two cents.
