Nat'l Brain Tumor Society Race for Hope/Head to the Hill
Eleven years ago, my life took a turn I never could have imagined when I was diagnosed with a brain tumor. Seven years after my original diagnosis, the tumor had returned and I found myself facing yet another brain surgery. Due to the efforts of organizations such as the National Brain Tumor Society, I am still here today to tell my story. That is why, this May, I am joining other survivors and those impacted by a brain tumor diagnosis in the NBTS Head to the Hill event. During this event, participants gather on Capitol Hill to meet with members of Congress in order to share personal stories about their brain tumor experience and advocate for the federal government to make strategic investments in brain tumor research and address other critical issues affecting the brain tumor community.
As a kick off to that event I will also be participating in the D.C. Race for Hope that weekend. This is a 5k run/walk to raise awareness and funds to support the needs of brain tumor patients and their families.
The National Brain Tumor Society is committed to defeating brain tumors and improving the quality of patients’ lives. Please consider joining the fight and donating to this amazing organization!
Thank you!
National Brain Tumor Society is fiercely committed to finding a cure for brain tumors. They are aggressively driving strategic research; advocating for public policies that meet the critical needs of the brain tumor community; and providing comprehensive patient, family and caregiver resources. Your support ensures this important work will continue.
