IT'S TIME ONCE AGAIN!  THE ANNUAL 5K BRAIN POWER WALK/RUN IS HERE AND THIS YEAR WE ARE GOING VIRTUAL!

COVID HAS BROUGHT MOST OF OUR LIVES TO A STRANGE STAND-STILL AND CAUSED MORE ANXIETY THAN I'M SURE ANY OF US WANT TO ADMIT.  EVEN WITH A GLOBAL PANDEMIC, CANCER DOES NOT TAKE A BREAK AND NEITHER DOES THE RESEARCH THAT GOES INTO CURING THIS DISEASE​.  YOUR HELP AND PARTICIPATION IN THIS YEAR'S VIRTUAL 5K CAN HELP CONTINUE ALL OF THE WONDERFUL BRAIN CANCER RESEARCH.

DONATIONS PROVIDE FUNDING FOR CLINICAL TRIALS AND CUTTING EDGE BRAIN CANCER RESEARCH AT THE UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS MD ANDERSON CANCER CENTER  AND CHILDREN’S MEMORIAL HERMANN HOSPITAL.  

EVERY $1 THAT IS DONATED GENERATES $5-10 OF FEDERAL FUNDING & GRANT SUPPORT!

(DONATIONS ARE TAX DEDUCTIBLE!)
