Support children with brain tumors
Kosta was 14 months old when he started vomiting unexpectedly. Despite a typical diagnosis of a stomach bug from his pediatrician, his symptoms worsened the very next day. His parents rushed him to Advocate Children’s Hospital, where he was diagnosed with a brain tumor. Kosta had surgery to remove the tumor, and now his family is raising funds for brain tumor research.
