Every day 27 Canadians are diagnosed with a brain tumour. Brain tumours are unpredictable and complex. They can affect vision, hearing, memory, balance and mobility. Their effects are physical, emotional, financial, and last a lifetime.
Brain Tumour Foundation of Canada raises funds to provide vital services and programs for the brain tumour community. We also lead research into the cause of and cure for this devastating disease through a variety of funding opportunities including the Brain Tumour Research Studentship. This award provides students opportunities to gain experience in Brain Tumour research and its research methods.
Taite Boomer was an all-around Canadian kid, whose battle with a brain tumour led to the creation of the Brain Tumour Research Studentship. The Taite Boomer Memorial Brain Tumour Foundation continues to advance research into the cause of and cure for brain tumours by encouraging young researchers to get into the field.
