Are YOU a Tumor Trooper? |
|
At the Brain Tumor Foundation for Children, we take great pride in opportunities to highlight and/or profile amazing young people like 18-year-old Blake Johnson, diagnosed with a brain tumor just weeks prior to high school graduation, determined to continue pursuing his dreams in spite of chemo, hospital stays and clinic visits. Blake, his family and the countless other children and families affected by pediatric brain tumors are Tumor Troopers EVERY day.
As we continue offering direct support to our families (i.e. sending cards/care packages, offering financial assistance, providing grief support, hosting social activities, etc.), we know we would not be able to share love in such special ways without our extended Tumor Trooper Family.
Read on to find out what some of our talent-sharing, activity-planning, fund-raising Tumor Trooper friends are doing for BTFC. |

Race for Research Re-Cap |
|
  Held on July 23, 2011 at Atlantic Station, the 12th Annual Race for Research raised just under $300,000 and drew more than 2,000 participants! All of the funds raised will go towards promising brain tumor research projects; more information on that soon.
Congratulations to Peyton's Space Rangers for coming in 1st place overall in size and amount of money raised. Way to go!

| Established in 1983 in Atlanta, GA, the Brain Tumor Foundation for Children was the first non-profit organization in the United States to focus on pediatric brain tumor disease. The Foundation's mission is: "To provide financial assistance, social support, and information for families of children with brain and spinal cord tumors; fund research projects that improve treatment options and search for a cure; and raise public awareness of the disease and advocate on behalf of children who are affected." BTFC serves children and families throughout Georgia and the Southeast. Our south Florida chapter, Christina's Kidz, is dedicated to helping Florida families. |
