When you register and fundraise for Spring Sprint, you join a nation-wide movement transforming the future for brain tumour patients and families. This means funding critical research into the cause of and cure for brain tumours. It also means ensuring the 55,000 Canadians living with the disease have access to the important support and information programs that are uniquely needed.

Once you register, don't forget to donate to yourself first, it will encourage others to support you! Consider donating an amount that signifies something special such as:

  • $27.00 to honour the 27 Canadians diagnosed with a brain tumour every day
  • $52.00 to signify the estimated number of visits a newly diagnosed patient will make to their health care team in the first year after a brain tumour diagnosis (surgery, radiation, chemotherapy, blood work etc).
  • $120.00 which signifies the number of different types of brain tumours about which we need more research
  • $236.00 to mark the number of support group meetings that will take take place across Canada this year, providing important support to patients, survivors and families.
  • or an amount of importance to you, consider birthdays, anniversaries, and more

Whether you stroll, saunter, walk, jog or run, register today and start transforming the future. We need you.

She has pulled together a team of 20 people from across the west coast to raise money and run in memory of three loved ones affected by the disease. Their team ‘Hook, Line and Sprinters’ aims to raise $5,000 for patient programs and research.
