DaBella Partners with Big Dreams Organization and Children’s Cancer Research Fund to Support August in His Fight Against Cancer
We’re incredibly proud to have partnered with the Big Dreams Organization and the Children’s Cancer Research Fund to support an extraordinary young boy named August, who has been courageously battling brain cancer. As part of this partnership, we were honored to take part in a special music video that will soon be released, sharing August’s inspiring story of resilience and strength.
As the release date approaches, we’re inviting our community to rally behind August and help support his fight. Learn more about August and donate to support his journey. You can contribute directly to his cause and make a real difference in his life.
August’s story is one of incredible bravery. Diagnosed at just five months old with anaplastic ependymoma, a rare and aggressive brain stem tumor, August has undergone years of difficult treatments. He’s battled through chemotherapy, a 14-hour brain surgery, protein radiation, and even a brain stem stroke, all while maintaining his joyful spirit. Whether it’s soccer, swimming, or his love for Cars and The Lion King, August’s energy and positivity continue to inspire everyone around him.
After over three years in remission, August faced a recurrence of his tumor in September 2023. Despite this setback, he continued treatment through the holidays and achieved remission again in January 2024. In April 2024, a new lesion appeared, requiring surgery with a new medical team skilled in removing the tumor. His family was devastated when an MRI in October showed a prognosis that no family should ever have to hear: only three months to prepare. The hope was thin, but the prayers were strong.
Then, in a miraculous turn of events, August’s follow-up MRI showed the tumor was dissolving. As August continues to defy expectations, we remain grounded yet hopeful and are forever grateful for the support and love that have carried August and his family through these trying times.
We invite you to join us in supporting August and his family. Your contributions—whether through a donation or by sharing his story—will help provide the resources and support they need. Together, we can make a difference in August’s life and in the lives of many others facing similar challenges.
Thank you for your generosity and for being part of this journey with us. We believe in August’s strength and in the power of community to bring about change. Let’s continue to support him in his fight.
