In 2025, together, we went even further — raising $9,086.
Now, in our third year, we’re coming back stronger with one goal: to keep pushing life-saving research forward.
Our Mission
At Before You Buy (BYB), we are committed to making a real impact. This July, we are proud to continue our partnership with the Children’s Cancer Institute. For every original property report ordered, BYB will donate $2 to support critical research and clinical trials focused on finding a cure for Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma (DIPG).
Why DIPG?
DIPG is an aggressive childhood brain cancer that primarily affects young children. It is inoperable and, tragically, survival outcomes have remained devastatingly low — making research not just important, but urgent. Through our partnership with the Children’s Cancer Institute, funds raised go directly toward advancing treatments, improving outcomes, and giving hope to families facing this diagnosis.
Amity’s Story
Amity's battle with DIPG touched the hearts of many. Her courageous fight against this relentless disease underscored the critical gaps in research and treatment options currently available. Her memory inspires us to do more, to support efforts that can prevent other families from enduring similar hardships.
Harper’s Story
Harper Dowdall, beloved daughter of Lee Dowdall from Compass Buyer's Agency, also faced DIPG with bravery and resilience. Her story, detailed at Hundred4Harper.com, serves as a poignant reminder of the toll this disease takes on families and the urgent need for advancements in medical research.
What Needs to Change — and What’s Starting To
For decades, outcomes for children diagnosed with DIPG have remained devastatingly unchanged. Most children survive less than a year after diagnosis, long-term survival is extremely rare, and there is still no known cure today. For many families, the reality at diagnosis has been being told to go home and make memories — because there are limited treatment options available. That is what needs to change.
But there is progress — driven by research.
Through organisations like the Children’s Cancer Institute, researchers are identifying promising drug targets, testing new treatments, and advancing clinical trials — including emerging approaches like immunotherapy and CAR‑T cell therapy — all working toward more effective ways to treat this disease.
These are still early steps — but they represent something that didn’t exist decades ago: real momentum toward change.
Goal
The goal is simple, but urgent. It’s to move from a diagnosis where families are given no options, to one where there are real treatment pathways — and ultimately, real chances of survival.
Because a near-zero long-term survival rate is not something we should accept, and with continued research, there is hope that the future for children diagnosed with DIPG can look very different from what families have faced in the past.
