 You are helping to improve the lives of families affected by a brain tumour!
In 21 cities across Canada this spring, more than 4,400 people came out to Walk, Run or Sprint in all kinds of weather to celebrate life and pay tribute to those who have been affected by a brain tumour. Generosity from people like you helped raise funds through every step to advance research while providing vital information and support to Canadians battling this devastating disease.
Brain Tumour Foundation of Canada is proud to announce that more people than ever have joined the fight in 2010 and helped surpass our goal to raise an incredible total of $1,417,238! Thank you to everyone across the country who dedicated their efforts to help Imagine a Cure.
