About The Cristian Rivera Foundation

The Objectives of the Cristian Rivera Foundation:: 1.To bring awareness of what Pontine Glioma is.
2 .To raise money to find the cure for Pontine Glioma brain tumors.

Cristian Rivera's Story
Jan 22nd, 2007, 4-year-old Cristian was diagnosed with Pontine Glioma, an inoperable brain tumor located in the stem of the brain.

After the doctors examined Cristian and reviewed his MRI, we received the worst news of our lives. The tumor was inoperable and the average lifespan for a child with Pontine Glioma after diagnosis is 3 to 18 months.

Cristian fought his battle with Pontine Glioma for 2 years and a few days. Cristian's mother and father never gave up hope. They prayed that God would heal their beloved child. Cristian kept fighting against this form of cancer. He passed away on January 25, 2009, in the loving arms of his mother and father.

Cristian's story magnifies just how important the work of the Cristian Rivera Foundation truly is.

The Cristian Rivera Foundation will one day find a cure for Pontine Glioma so no other family will have to suffer the grief that Cristian Rivera's family has endured.
