Eli was a kind, affectionate, wild, smart as a whip, little boy. He loved singing, playing soccer, swimming in his pool, and being absolutely hilarious. Eli was a friend to everyone he met, he had a smile that lit up a room and was somehow delightfully mischievous at the same time. He loved superheroes, all things Disney and celebrating every holiday with enthusiasm. Eli was sweet, loving and adorably honest. He loved his friends and family fiercely, especially his mom, dad and his two sisters, June and Lucy.

On August 5, 2021, a month to the day after his baby sister Lucy was born, Eli was diagnosed with Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma (DIPG) and we were given the worst news any parent could ever receive. Our world was turned upside down and for the next year we focused every effort on our family and making memories together. Just after his 7th birthday, and a year after his diagnosis, Eli was taken from us by DIPG.

After brainstorming ideas to honor his memory, we decided one way to keep his fun-loving spirit alive is to help other families battling pediatric cancer!
