Video-Lemon Face Challenge with East Central Physical Therapy

Doing their part to raise awareness for DIPG, East Central Physical Therapy accepted the Lemon Face Challenge extended by Singing River Health System!

DIPG stand for Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma, a rare and deadly childhood brain cancer. Unlike many other pediatric cancers, there has been little progress in improving treatments and cure rates for DIPG over the last few decades. Unfortunately, fewer than 10% of children with DIPG survive two years from diagnosis.** More research is needed. Nick Saban, Nicholas Cage, the LA Dodgers, and the Arizona Diamondbacks are among many others who are helping to raise awareness.
