The boy’s tumor disappeared after participating in a new clinical trial.
Few things strike fear in the heart of parents and doctors more than a cancer called diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma, or DIPG. Primarily found in children, DIPG is a highly aggressive brain tumor that is uniformly fatal, with less than 10 percent of children surviving longer than two years after diagnosis.
But for the first time ever, a 13-year-old boy from Belgium named Lucas Jemeljanova has beaten the odds.
He even travels to the future in style.
There are tons of mesmerizing fashion history videos online where women take viewers on a stylish adventure through Victorian gowns to flapper dresses to bell bottoms and beyond, just to showcase all the ways that women’s clothing has evolved.
But it’s been just as thrilling of a ride for men’s fashion, and Wisdom Kaye, dubbed “TikTok’s best dress guy” by Vogue, has a video to prove it.
In May, Upworthy partnered with P&G to celebrate individuals who are giving back and strengthening their communities through the 2024 #ActsOfGood Awards. Folks were encouraged to nominate individuals who were going above and beyond to help their community for a chance to receive a $1,000 donation to a non-profit organization of their choice. The big day has finally arrived and our three outstanding winners have been selected. Read more about them!
Today and every day, let’s join forces as allies and advocates for diversity and inclusion. it’s always a great idea to share our support, joy, progress, and hope with friends, family, and neighbors. This is how you can help keep the spirit of celebration and inclusion alive all year long.
This is what a healthy partnership looks like.
Parents do a lot for their children. Some parents will go without or sacrifice things they may actually need to make sure their children have the best life that they can provide. It's easy to get caught up in daily life without much consideration of what that looks like from a child's point of view.
Parents can sometimes default to assuming a child's understanding of what they see as minimal. But one mom was reminded that children may understand much more than adults give them credit for. Ambreia Meadows-Fernandez posted a video to her social media page, Free Black Motherhood, that shows her 5-year-old asking why parents don't treat themselves better.
