Addison Kate White was born January 3, 2017. She was a lively baby! At the age of 3 months old, Addy Kate was diagnosed with DIPG. We spend 10 days at Children's of Alabama, and were able to come home for the last few days of normalcy. She passed away 26 days after diagnosis on April 29, 2017 surrounded by her family.
"The Cure Starts Now came into our lives in April of 2017. Addy Kate was newly diagnosed with DIPG and we were in shock at how little there was to know about the disease. We decided that we wanted Addy Kate’s legacy to live on through research for this horrible diagnosis. After she passed away, Addy Kate’s tumor was donated to science, and our family decided then to help in any way we could to get more research. We hope that by Addy Kate being an Ambassador we can help find a HOME RUN CURE!" - Callie and Clarke White
