Support for Danial Coal’s Journey with Brain Cancer
On May 8, 2024, Danial Coal was diagnosed with Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma (DIPG), a rare and aggressive brain tumor affecting the brain stem. Within days, Danial lost function on his right side and facial movement—but his incredible spirit has never wavered.
Danial has been incredibly strong and very brave over this last year with his diagnosis. He’s made every moment count: from riding bikes and RC cars, to camping trips, MLB games and Monster Jam. His parents, brother and all his family have done a beautiful job in treasuring these adventures.
In early 2025 scans showed the tumor growing again, leading to a second round of radiation. While recent treatment shrunk the original tumor, devastatingly, a new tumor has appeared. Danial has now been given only a few months to live.
Monthly travel to Denver for treatment and extended stays have created a significant financial burden. Your support will help us with ongoing medical expenses, continue giving Danial joyful experiences and memories, and bring awareness to other families facing DIPG.
Please consider donating or sharing Danial’s story. Every act of love makes a difference.
