At 7 years old, Gage Driver has wrestled his way to winning 27 trophies and competing at the state level. But now, he faces the match of his life as he
battles a rare form of brain cancer that has just a 5 percent survival rate, Myfoxtwincities.com reports.

"As a mom and a nurse, you're supposed to be able to fix it," Gage's mom, Trina, told the news outlet. "And there's nothing I can do other than pray."

Doctors say that not enough is known about diffuse pontine glioma, which affects about 300 kids per year, and more research needs to be done in order to target the treatments better.

Which is why the Minnesota mom is appealing to the public to donate to brain cancer research.

"Even if our little boy can't be saved," Trina said, "hopefully, other parents don't have to go through this."
