Eye exams, like dental and medical check-ups, are an important part of maintaining our physical health. But, for many, they’re also the first to signal that a patient may have a brain tumour.

On Tuesday, October 24, 2024, thousands of Canadians came together for the seventh annual Hats for Hope campaign, a national day of awareness that shines a light on the impact of brain cancer.

As we celebrate the social workers who make a difference in the brain tumour community and beyond, we’d like to recognize the contributions of our very own Sarah Rogers. Sarah has led the advocacy portfolio at Brain Tumour Foundation of Canada since 2021.

For nearly 30 years, Mikelle Meaden has helped patients and their families through challenging medical diagnoses. As a social worker, she plays a crucial role in providing counselling, support and connections to essential resources that improve the quality of life for those under her care.

Ever since Jeremy Holmes’ mom, Cathy, was diagnosed with a brain tumour, he’s wanted to do something to show his support. He decided to hold an event to raise funds and awareness for Brain Tumour Foundation of Canada in his mom’s honour, opting for a curling bonspiel he dubbed the Momma ‘C’ Bonspiel.

We are pleased to announce the recipients of our 2024 Research Grants, awarded to four outstanding researchers whose innovative projects aim to advance the understanding, diagnosis, and treatment of brain tumours.

Each year, we recognize and celebrate the outstanding contributions of volunteers who dedicate their time, energy, and passion to making a difference in the lives of those affected by brain tumours.
