Bill S-244 proposes to designate May 17th of each year as National Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma Awareness Day across Canada. Diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG) is a highly aggressive and fatal brainstem tumor that primarily affects young children, typically between five and seven years old. Despite its devastating impact, treatments and prognosis for DIPG have seen little improvement for decades, leaving affected individuals with intact cognitive functions but progressively losing control of their bodily functions.
