2020 has been a year. Phew! Since we're still trying to stay safe in 2021, we will be doing the annual Head for the Cure walk virtually this February. Please join us from wherever you're staying safe to walk or run to raise money for brain cancer research. 

I had an MRI on December 7th, and it was stable, so I'll now be doing MRI scans every 4 months instead of every 3. Stable is the goal, but we know that these tumors have fingers that spread and it's impossible for surgeons to get it all. Because of that, recurrence is always looming for patients like me. Brain tumors kill more people under 40 than any other cancer. Anything you can do to help fund research is greatly appreciated!

Thank you for visiting my personal page and helping me to reach my fundraising goal!

I am joining the fight against brain cancer by participating in the Head for the Cure - Charleston Virtual 5K on Saturday, February 27, 2021. Head for the Cure is dedicated to raising funds and awareness for brain cancer research.

Each year, over 80,000 people in the United States are diagnosed with a primary or metastatic brain tumor. More than 120 types of brain tumors exist, making effective treatment complicated. Cutting edge research is needed as we continue to make strides in this fight.

Head for the Cure works to inspire hope for the community of brain cancer patients, their families, friends, caregivers and other supporters, while celebrating their courage, spirit and energy. Every Head for the Cure event marks a day of celebration where those diagnosed with brain cancer are honored and celebrated by their friends and families, those who have lost their battles are remembered, and we are all inspired to carry on the fight. 

Funds raised by Head for the Cure support the Brain Tumor Trials Collaborative, a network of medical centers with the expertise and the desire to participate in state-of-the-art clinical trials investigating new treatments for malignant brain tumors.

Please consider making a donation today to help me reach my goal and to help Head for the Cure defeat brain cancer, step by step!
