The 2025 Brain Tumour Walk season was one to remember. From coast to coast, communities came together with purpose, compassion and determination, and together, we reached our $1 million fundraising goal! Every step taken, every donation made and every story shared helped bring hope, connection and support to people affected by a brain tumour across Canada.

The Brain Tumour Walk is the largest volunteer-led movement in Canada dedicated to supporting everyone affected by a brain tumour. Each year, participants gather to honour loved ones, celebrate survivors and raise vital funds for research, support programs and advocacy. What makes this movement so powerful is the sense of community it creates. No one walks alone.

We are deeply grateful to every participant, donor, volunteer, sponsor and supporter who made this year possible. We extend special thanks to our National Sponsor, Novocure, and our Community Walks Sponsor, Servier, for their generous support and continued commitment to the brain tumour community. We are also sincerely thankful to our many local sponsors across the country whose generosity and partnership helped bring Walks to life in communities nationwide. Your support is helping build a future with better outcomes, stronger supports and greater understanding for the brain tumour community.

Their time, energy and dedication help create welcoming, safe and impactful events in communities across Canada.
