5 years ago on an idle Monday my mother, Barbara Carpenter was diagnosed with a brain tumor classified as Stage 4 Glioblastoma. This diagnosis is usually grim, but because of events like these that fund necessary cancer research for treatment and care, we were blessed with 18 additional months with our incredible mother.

Funds raised here help to provide promising research, support to families like ours who are currently coping with the effects of a brain tumor diagnosis, advocate for change, and most importantly are allowing people more precious time with their loved ones.

I have joined this movement to bring the issue of brain tumors to the forefront. Progress is being made, but there is always more to be done.

On May 21st, my family & I will walk for continued research to give other families more time with their loved ones. If you’d like to join our team “Barbara’s Bees” or just simply donate, click the link below!
