Meet Owen

Owen Petrzelka was a sweet and active 5-year-old when diagnosed with DIPG in April 2020. He longed to be a ninja when he grew up and trained regularly. He was a proud big brother to his sister and best friend Sydney and his brother Wyatt, who turned 1 the day after Owen’s diagnosis. Owen lost his battle to DIPG on October 6, 2020 at the age of six, less than six months from his diagnosis, but his message of spreading joy and making others happy will live on through so many.
