On Ependymoma Awareness Day, butterflies around the world are released to honor loved ones with ependymoma, recognize care partners and medical workers, and support ependymoma research efforts.
The delicate and beautiful butterfly was chosen to represent the spirit of the ependymoma community as a symbol of hope through change.
ALL ARE WELCOME!!!
