Valentina: Living with Pediatric Low-Grade Glioma

In June 2018, Valentina was diagnosed with a pediatric low-grade glioma with a BRAF mutation. At the time, she was only one year old. While pediatric low-grade gliomas have higher survival rates than other types of pediatric brain tumors, many PLGG patients face a life of chronic relapses and significant challenges. PBTF funds research along every stage of the drug discovery process, advancing the medical community’s understanding of these recurrences and uncovering promising new treatments that target tumor mutations.

Although she fights her brain tumor every day, there’s more to Valentina than just her diagnosis. She’s a sweet five-year-old who brightens up her family's day with her jokes and silliness. She loves art, baking, and swimming, just like her favorite princess Ariel.
