It's a parent’s worst nightmare. a child is diagnosed with inoperable brain cancer at just 4 years old. But that's the reality for Caitlin Downing's parents Jeff and Denise Downing.
Caitlin has been diagnosed with an inoperable, terminal brain tumor.
The Downings want to help others who are suffering or will suffer the same diagnosis in the future. They stopped by Good Day to talk about Miles For Hope, Moving Towards a Cure For Brain Tumors, a non-profit organization dedicated to raising awareness, funding of cutting edge brain tumor research and clinical trials and to providing travel assistance to qualified patients.
