Canada currently has one of the highest rates of brain tumour incidents in the world 2. Between 1992 and 2008, 13,340 Canadians died from glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) alone 3. No new discoveries have been made for a decade. Research and innovation is needed now more than ever.
Tuesday, October 24, 2023, marks the sixth annual Brain Cancer Awareness Day in Canada! On this day, our goal is to bring attention to the impact of this disease while also sharing a message filled with HOPE.
27 Canadians are diagnosed with a brain tumour every day. In addition to the 8 Canadians who will learn they have brain cancer every day.1 , 19 Canadians will learn that they have a non-malignant brain tumour.4 Non-malignant brain tumours can be just as life-altering as malignant tumours.
Hats for Hope, a nation-wide brain tumour awareness campaign, provides hope for those affected. Hope through support. Hope through research. Hope for a cure.
On October 24, 2023, Brain Cancer Awareness Day, our hashtag sponsor Novocure invites you to raise awareness by wearing your #HatsForHope toque or your #HoodiesForHope, or any hat or hoodie, and post a photo of yourself on social media, using the hashtags #HatsForHope and #HoodiesForHope. Don’t forget to tag @braintumourfdn. Together, we will raise awareness of this devastating disease while spreading HOPE.
Thanks to our distributor New Era Grafix, proceeds from every toque and hoodie sold are being donated to Brain Tumour Foundation of Canada to continue our important mission to find the cause of and cure for brain tumours and brain cancer.
