#REPOST @monicamoralestv PAIN INTO PURPOSE: I am so inspired by this father’s quest for answers, through the pain of losing his own child to cancer. John “Gungie” Rivera @johngungierivera is a legend in the music industry. He’s with me in the studio. We are going to go deep about his struggle on getting answers for all of our children. From being a DJ, Record Company owner, Night Club and Restaurant owner to a legendary promoter. John Gungie Rivera has achieved so much success. But the role he is most proud of, is being a dad. And now he is leading the fight to help find a cure for what’s called D.I.P.G.—Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma. It’s an inoperable brain stem cancer. It’s the disease that took the life of his six year-old son, Cristian. @cristianriverafoundation @weillcornell He has a non-profit organization that has given more than three million dollars to research and has countless celebrities on his team. And right now, there is a 17-year-old boxer from New Jersey, Jesselyn Silva who is struggling with the disease and needs our help right now. And another superhero and community champion, doctor Dr. Mark Souweidane @mmsouwei, a Pediatric Neurosurgeon, at Weill Cornell Medical Center. John Gungie Rivera, the Founder of the Cristian Rivera Foundation and him, are making a cure happen in our lifetime! Watch Thursday night. Details to come. @pix11news #monicamakesithappen #monicamakesithappenshow
