Tim Finkel will talk about his beloved son Ryder, who was 7 years old when he was diagnosed with the terrible Pediatric Brain Cancer DIPG in October of 2023, and passed away just 54 days ago on October 22nd.

I am always amazed and humbled when any parent can come on to my podcast to talk about the passing of their child from any form of pediatric cancer. This feeling was no more striking than in my conversation with Tim Finkel, who spoke so eloquently about losing his and Angela's youngest son Ryder just 54 days ago to  DIPG at the age of 9. This Pediatric Brain cancer still does not have any type of good news as far as a survival rate is concerned, which is the same story that DIPG parents and families have been hearing for over 60 years.
