"Our family wants to continue the fight for Aralyn against DIPG. The standard treatment hasn't changed in over 60 years. DIPG families need new options and more advancements. By fighting, we will continue to bring awareness and fundraise for research. All of these beautiful angels deserved a fighting chance to beat this, and we want to make sure future kids and families have that." - The Slack Family

Aralyn was an amazing, smart, hilarious 11 year old girl. She is the youngest in her family. She enjoyed playing softball and soccer. She loved to read. Her hobbies included creating artwork, cheering on her siblings at all of their sporting events, slumber parties, spending time with her friends, and helping her mom take care of her little buddy Grant, who has a trach and a gtube.  Sea turtles, the color orange, Squishmallows, sour candy, and chips were some of her favorites. Aralyn was kind and selfless.  She was goofy and made everyone around her laugh and feel loved. There is nobody like her.
