February – The Month of Em
In honor of Emily’s legacy, we are declaring February as the Month of Em—a time to celebrate her life, remember her courage, and continue the work she would have been doing herself. February is a significant month for Em: it's the month she was born, the month she was diagnosed with DIPG, and the month she died. We invite you to join us in honoring her all month long.
