Since her young son was diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor last year, Tammi Carr has campaigned to raise awareness for Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma (DIPG) while reaching out for prayers for Chad and the family’s challenges as they have faced this together.
Chad Carr, now 5, is the grandson of former Michigan coach Lloyd Carr and Tom Curtis, the Michigan All-American defensive back (1967-1969). He was diagnosed with the tumor just days before his fourth birthday. Almost immediately, Tammi, married to Jason Carr, a former Michigan quarterback, took to Facebook and social media asking the world to pray for her son.
