Meet Chad and Michael

Meet Chad and Michael

Two Boys. One Shared Legacy.

Chad Carr and Michael Mosier never met, but their brave battles with DIPG, and their families’ love, ignited a national movement.

Meet Chad and Michael

The Carr and Mosier families share a powerful bond: a determination to honor their sons by changing the future for families facing the devastation of DIPG. Their efforts united to form the ChadTough Defeat DIPG Foundation—now the leading force in the fight against DIPG. Together, the Carrs and Mosiers have transformed tragedy into a national movement of hope, research, and progress.

Chad and Michael’s families were strangers before DIPG—but once their paths crossed, they became united in purpose.

What began as two separate foundations grew into a powerful partnership, driven by their shared determination and the enduring legacies of their sons. Together, they laid the foundation for what ChadTough Defeat DIPG has become today.

Continuing the Legacy

While the Carrs and Mosiers will always grieve their sons, they’ve turned their pain into purpose—creating a legacy that brings hope to other families. Their union marked a turning point in childhood brain cancer research. What began as tributes to Chad and Michael has grown into a shared mission to fund the game-changing research and to fight for every family facing it today—and they are far from alone in that fight.
