Silicon Valley Brain Tumor Walk

Nearly 700,000 people in the US are living with a brain tumor and close to 14,000 people will die becuase of the disease this year alone. Despite these facts, brain tumor research remains underfunded; in fact, there are only four FDA approved drugs available today to treat brain tumors.

The 5K Silicon Valley Brain Tumor Walk is an inspiring, family- friendly fundraising event to support and honor those affected by this deadly disease and raise money to find a cure. All proceeds benefit the National Brain Tumor Society and go towards raising vital awareness of the disease and funding critical brain tumor research for the discovery of new treatments, and ultimately, a cure.
