Brain Tumor Awareness Month - 1 Week Remains

I am doing pull-ups for a cure, and many others have joined me.  But there are so many other things happening during this month.  I received the information below from the National Brain Tumor Society.

National Brain Tumor Society is celebrating Brain Tumor Awareness Month with exciting events across the country. As always, we are grateful for the thousands of supporters who have come out to increase brain tumor awareness and join the fight for a cure. Thank you!
Event highlights:
  • The San Francisco Bay Area event on May 5 was the first Walk of the month and brought together over 2,500 participants to raise over $500,000.
  • D.C.'s Weekend of Hope began with the annual Golf for Hope event on May 4, followed by an inspirational Night of Hope Benefit with American Idol® star David Cook on May 5, and wrapped up with the Race for Hope-DC on May 6, bringing together over 11,000 participants to raise over $2M for brain tumor research!
  • The first Ride of the year, the Boston Brain Tumor Ride on May 20 brought together over 600 cyclists and raised over $500,000 to date.
  • That same day, the Team Billy Ride and Walk for Research in Saratoga Springs, NY raised over $60,000 with over 300 participants.
Although May is coming to a close, there are always opportunities for you to help raise brain tumor awareness. Learn more about the many ways you can get involved with us.
