Team King David
Ten years ago this month I lost my husband, David Marshall King, to Glioblastoma Multiforme (GBM). From the time he was diagnosed in 2012, I became active in the National Brain Tumor Society, raising money through rides, joining the board, and ultimately the executive committee. While I have termed off the board, I remain deeply committed to finding treatments for GBM.
While at NBTS I co-founded the Brain Tumor Investment Fund, where I remain a member of the investment committee. BTIF is a Venture Philanthropy Fund Focused on Sparking the Brain Tumor Market and Bringing Treatments and Cures to Patients. The number of new treatments that are in development is heartening, but we need more capital to continue to move promising drugs from the lab to the clinic.
I have registered to fundraise for the NBTS National Brain Tumor Ride in honor of Brain Tumor Awareness Month and in memory of David King. All funds that I raise through the ride will go to the BTIF venture fund to invest in new treatments.
I will be riding in Claverack, NY and invite you to support my ride, or join me in person or virtually to raise money to find treatments for GBM. Thank you.
