Description

Patti and Al Gustafson will talk about their son Michael, who passed away after a 5 year battle  with the pediatric brain cancer Medulloblastoma, During the late stages of his disease, Michael told his mom that he willing to give up his life "so that he could see if I can find a cure for cancer"  
I will  also speak with Dr. Angela Waanders , who will talk about the importance of post mortem brain tissue donations, which could be a game changer in the future for pediatric brain cancer patients and their families.                                                                                                                                                                                 
Advocating for these tissue donations is a major part of the Swifty Foundation which Michael was the inspiration behind, and which the Gustafson family run today as they are doing what they can to fight for these kids who receive such a difficult diagnosis.
