On Sept. 30th, together with family and Team Mangelli-Magee East, Mary and Ed will join the National  Brain Tumor Society's 5K fundraising walk at Jones Beach, NY in honor of our beloved brother and brother-in-law, James. 

As a toddler, James discovered his love for the ocean at Jones Beach. He walked to water's edge like a newly hatched sea turtle drawn to its natural home. 

Throughout his life, James swam in many waters until he died of glioblastoma, the most commonly occurring malignant brain cancer, with 5 year survival rate of 6.9%. 

We are uniting with others to try to make a difference in the fight against brain tumors. The National Brain Tumor Society asserts that it will not rest until a cure exists - but more needs to be done. Any amount will be greatly appreciated.
