Suffering from a rare cancer, this 12 year old demonstrates the importance of hope and resilience.

The odds are against Lola Muñoz.

The 12 year old was diagnosed with diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma on Aug. 26, 2016.  The average prognosis for a person diagnosed with what is known as DIPG is only 9-12 months. The survival rate is zero.

Lola lives with her family on Fort Drum Army base in Watertown. Her dad serves in the military and before moving to New York two years ago, the family lived in Germany and Kentucky.
