ChadTough Defeat DIPG Foundation is named for Saline boy Chad Carr, the son of Tammi and Jason Carr. Carr's battle with pediatric brain cancer captured the attention of people around the world - but especially here in Saline. He died in November of 2015 - but not before he blew the horn of a Saline Fire Truck to start the inaugural ChadTough Run.
