Our Warriors Who Inspire Us
Tyler Palmowski
Canada
DIPG
March 12, 2020
Tyler passed away on November 24, 2020 at home in our arms. He fought a hard battle with DIPG, always telling us he was going to beat this cancer too. When Tyler was 8 he was diagnosed with Medulloblastoma( a brain tumor), which he underwent surgeries, proton radiation and chemotherapy. He fought hard and won. When he was almost 5 years cancer free he was diagnosed with DIPG. Tyler marched through re-radiation and trial drugs in hopes of finding the cure that is so desperately needed. He always had a positive attitude and wanted to live life to the fullest with his family at his side. Tyler loved the outdoors, fishing, hunting, camping and quading.
