May Is National Brain Tumor Awareness Month

May is the National Brain Tumor Awareness Month. Did you know that over 200,000 people in the US are diagnosed with brain cancer each year?  Please help me raise awareness, funds, and find a cure for brain cancer today.

I’m on a mission to put Glioblastoma Multiforme- the most aggressive and malignant brain tumor- on the global awareness map and discover a treatment and cure.  My uncle is in the fight for his life and I won’t stop fighting for him until we find a cure.

This past weekend I had the privilege of celebrating survival and hope with 300 other people whose lives have been affected by brain tumors at the annual Miles For Hope 5K walk/run in Boston.  It was inspiring to be surrounded by so many hopeful people who shared their stories and support for others.

If you would like to donate or find a walk near you please visit www.milesforhope.org



Yours,
