Recipient Stories

Avery is a spirited little girl who punches above her weight and always finds a way to stand out in the crowd. Compassionate, energetic, and mischievous, she loves soccer, skiing, sailing—and most of all, getting a playful reaction of “Averrrry!!??!?” from her friends and family who adore her.

In 2022, Avery was diagnosed with Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma (DIPG), a rare and aggressive brainstem tumor that primarily affects children. DIPG grows quickly, spreads to nearby tissue, and unfortunately carries a survival rate of less than one year.

That same year, Benefit Others Foundation partnered with Avery and The Cure Starts Now to raise awareness about this devastating disease, provide financial support for her medical treatment, and make a donation to The Cure Starts Now organization. Through this partnership, Avery’s fight has inspired hope and action in the larger community.
