If you are looking for a way to provide fun and support for your child and family as you face the journey with a pediatric brain tumour, consider joining BrainWAVE.

This support program for families with a child (19 years old or younger) with a brain tumour is comprised of four separate but related components: events, parent support, information sharing and education.

Several times a year, BrainWAVE families have the opportunity to meet and relax through fun activities such as trips to sports events, historical sites and other family attractions. These free events give all members of the immediate family a welcome break from treatments and doctors' visits.

All activities are planned and organized by volunteers on the BrainWAVE Committee.

Note: Currently, BrainWAVE only operates in Southern Ontario and BC's Lower Mainland. Please contact us if you are interested in starting a BrainWAVE program in your community.

See what BrainWAVE events are really like in this short video created by a BrainWAVE parent volunteer.
