TORONTO Last December, just months after her fourth birthday, Isabelle Borkowski died after battling diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG), a rare form of terminal brain cancer. Now, Isabelle s parents are working to raise more awareness about DIPG while honouring their daughter s memory. We re hoping that bringing awareness to this disease will help eventually stimulate people in the government to provide additional funding for research, said Isabelle s father, Michal Borkowski, in an interview with CTV s Your Morning from Toronto. The Borkowskis are circulating a House of Commons petition sponsored by Liberal MP Julie Dabrusin, calling on Parliament to declare May 17 as a national day for DIPG awareness.
