Story

Thanks for visiting Billy's Battalion's JustGiving page, set up to fund UK DIPG research charity Abbie's Army.

Billy Thompson was nearly almost five years old when he died on 31st March 2024. He was diagnosed with paediatric DIPG brain cancer in November 2023.

DIPG is under-funded, under-researched and poorly understood. Every nine days a child in the UK is handed this death sentence. DIPG is 100% fatal, highlighting the urgent need to for research to find a cure.
