CNA938 Rewind - A Letter to Myself: "Your idea of legacy will change drastically" — Linda Ong and Johnson Loo, co-founders of childhood brain cancer non-profit DIPG Alliance

CNA938 Rewind

Linda Ong and Johnson Loo lost their daughter, Natasha, to a rare and aggressive form of brain cancer called diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG). While they did everything they could to advance her treatment, Natasha passed away in August 2025, at the age of seven. The couple, together with two other sets of parents who also lost daughters to the same disease, came together to co-found the DIPG Alliance in 2026, which seeks to advance research and make treatment of childhood brain cancers more accessible in Singapore — and honour the memories of their daughters. Linda and Johnson reflect on their journey and share the most important lessons they gained on their journey as a family.
