Team Jeremy
Since 2004, Team Jeremy has raised funds for the National Brain Tumor Society via the New England Brain Tumor Ride. With new family members whose toes don't yet reach the peddles, we are stepping off our bikes and walking for a cure. To date, as a team, we have raised over $100,000 whether as riders in Boston, virtual participants as far as Indonesia, or walkers during the Bay Area Brain Tumor Walk. Now, we are committed to raising as much money as possible for new treatments as we participate in October's New England Brain Tumor Walk.
I (Jeremy) was diagnosed with an Oligodendroglioma at the age of 12. After multiple recurrences, I've gone through several surgeries, radiation therapy, as well as conventional and experimental treatments. Most recently, I had surgery in December, 2022. While chemotherapy would be the obvious next step, my Doctor and I are waiting to proceed with treatment until there are further signs of growth. This is to ensure we keep as many treatment options available for as long as possible. I'm in this situation because there aren't enough treatment options available for people living with brain tumors. That's why we'll be walking in October. To give hope to people like me and others who are waiting for the next treatment, and possibly one day: a cure.
Join us by participating as a walker in Boston or a virtual participant and walking where you live! If you are not able to walk, then we ask you to please consider donating to our team.
With love,
Jeremy
