Turning the same age, on the same day as my husband, never gets old. They call us, Astro-Twins.

In Sept 2004, my husband Rob was 30 yrs old and I was 8 months pregnant with our second child, days away from leaving work on maternity leave.

Lawrence, a successful businessman, is not one to take a decline in memory lightly. Lawrence was in Winnipeg, at home on leave from his job in New York City when he had his first seizure.

Hi, I am Piper Gilles. You may know me as a world-famous ice dancer. I competed in the PyeongChang 2018 Olympic Winter Games.

In the summer of 2017, while at work, I had my first episode of what I would now call vertigo or double vision. Something I've never experienced before.

It’s been ten years since Max’s diagnosis of an anaplastic mixed glioma. Beating the 18-month expectation that the neurosurgeon had.

Sara’s brain tumour diagnosis came during Thanksgiving weekend 2014 when doctors discovered a golf-ball-sized tumour on her right frontal lobe.

This February 23, 2019, it will have been 15 years since I collapsed in a grand mal seizure and was subsequently diagnosed with Glioblastoma (GB).

Usually surrounded by friends and family, Lynn was alone when she heard the words: “I’m sorry to inform you… an abnormal lesion… aggressive”. A brain tumour.

Headaches are like house guests. Some come and go. Others don’t want to leave; and become a real nuisance. Tracey’s headache lasted a full 6 months.

What do you see when you look in the mirror? When Andrew’s friend looked at him, he saw an immensely tough person and wanted to let Andrew know.

Sharing "our" story. It’s my friend Anthony's story, but I use "our" because when someone is diagnosed with a brain tumour, they don't go through it alone.

Thankfully, my mum’s Glioblastoma never returned. Each year she went from having MRI’s every few weeks, to every few months, to twice a year.

Well here is my story, I hope some inspiration is found in it. My husband and I had finally moved into our dream house, can’t ever forget that happy day!

I had headaches, almost daily, for 10 years or more. It was a rare day if I did not have a headache. I used to joke that I should own stock in headache remedy companies.
