He was an adventurous boy who rarely complained.
But when Brody Huber was 13, he began showing behavior that was unusual for him.
A typical growing teenager, right?
He was tired. He had a few headaches. It sounded like any other growing teenager. But something didn’t feel right.
Tried everything
Brody and his family tried everything. He underwent radiation, meditation, acupuncture, massage, Reiki, and even participated in a clinical trial at the Vitanza Lab at Seattle Children’s Hospital, which injected medications directly into the brain.
While the trial has doubled lifespans for some children with DMG, Brody’s cancer spread, and he passed away in March 2021 — just eight months after his diagnosis.
Even in the face of unimaginable pain, Brody faced his illness with courage.
“When he found out his cancer was spreading, he told me: ‘I really thought I had it, Mom,’” Tina said.
To honor Brody’s legacy, his family founded the Brody Huber Foundation to raise funds for the Vitanza Lab, helping other children access life-saving trials. So far, they’ve raised $85,000 and plan to send another $50,000 on what would have been Brody’s 19th birthday, November 21, 2025.
“We don’t want your family or anyone else to go through this,” Tina said. “Please help us find a cure.”
Brody’s story is a heartbreaking reminder of how fragile life can be, and how important it is to support research that gives hope to children battling the worst forms of cancer.
