Jake is a 24 year old Umass college student who was recently diagnosed with Supratentorial Ependymoma- a rapidly growing brain tumor which has now spread to his spine.  His original diagnosis was 6 to 12 months, but Jake was told at the end of July that the time frame is closer to 3 months at most.

We have set up a fund for Jake to help defray his expenses during this very difficult time.  It is
