On March 9, 2021, I lost my mom after a four-month battle with brain cancer. 

My mom was diagnosed with a glioblastoma (GBM), one of the most complex, deadly, and treatment-resistant cancers. The five-year survival rate for glioblastoma patients is only 6.9% and the average length of survival for patients is estimated to be only 8 months. Survival rates and mortality statistics for GBM have been virtually unchanged for decades. 

My mom was my best friend and I miss her every single day. 

I am uniting with others to make a difference in the fight against brain tumors. I am passionate about this cause, so I’m taking action. I need your help in this fight. National Brain Tumor Society will not rest until a cure exists - but more needs to be done. Please join in my effort!
