Welcome to My Personal Page
Once again, I am taking part in the National Brain Tumor Ride on May 19, 2024 in support of the National Brain Tumor Society (NBTS). NBTS works to develop better treatments, and ultimately find a cure for brain tumors. This is personal for me.
As many of you are aware, my cousin and dear friend, Lisa Shapiro, has been courageously battling a brain tumor for over 25 years. Last year, her condition escalated to a Stage 4 brain tumor, leading Lisa through an arduous journey of 33 rounds of radiation, five days a week, accompanied by daily chemotherapy for over six weeks. Presently, she undergoes a brain MRI every 4-6 weeks to monitor any growth, with the possibility of requiring further treatment in the future. In the face of this challenge, just as she has with the others, Lisa meets it with her characteristic blend of strength, courage, positivity and grace.
This is where I ask for your help. With your support, I hope to raise a significant amount for NBTS to fund patient-centered research, advocate for public policy change, and improve the lives of brain tumor patients and their care partners.
Please consider supporting my fundraising efforts by making a gift online at my personal link below or via mail with a check made out to “NBTS” and this printable donation form. You can also read more about my story, track my fundraising progress, and learn about NBTS’s important work at my fundraising page.
Thank you for your support as I embark on this journey. A gift of any amount is greatly appreciated by me and all those affected by a brain tumor.
