A 5-year-old boy dies after 17 days of rare cancer.
Luke Morin, of Denver, was diagnosed with diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG), a form of brain tumor found in children. There is no cure for DIPG and there is no form of treatment available. Luke's family now hopes to raise awareness and funds for better research.
At five years of age, Luke Morin had decades left to live.
But only 17 days after the young Denver, Colorado, a child was diagnosed with an Intrinsic Diffuse Pontiol Glioma (DIPG), a cancerous tumor that begins in the brainstem and primarily affects children, Luke - A "creative" and "brave" child. - He died on April 25.

"They stole our son," his mother, Jill Morin, he told KMGH. "I do not want to see these families go through this, I do not want these kids to go through it."
Jill plans to take action against the disease, which, according to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, represents approximately 10 to 20 percent of all childhood brain tumors. From 300 to 350 new cases of DIPG arise every year, which usually affects children under 10, according to the Center for the brain and spine of Weill Cornell.
"The main problem with DIPG is that most of these tumors are not classified by grade because surgery to obtain tissue through a biopsy or to remove the tumor is not safe due to the location of the tumor. "When a biopsy of these tumors is performed, they are usually grade III or grade IV tumors, which tend to behave very aggressively," the hospital said.
Luke Morin, 5, died of DIPG on April 25.
(Jill Morin)These tumors are difficult to treat and inoperable in most cases, which means that the prognosis for patients diagnosed with DIPG is grim.
But the Colorado mother has decided to fight the disease, creating a fundraiser that has raised more than $ 130,000 as of Friday afternoon. All proceeds will eventually benefit the DIPG research team at Children's Hospital Colorado. Jill too created a 5K For the same reason, which is scheduled for November.

"My husband had the best analogy, which was: DIPG was the drunk driver who killed our son. I say: 'DIPG messed with the wrong family,' "he told KMGH.
Jill Morin was not immediately available for comment when contacted by Fox News on Friday.
