| Description | The Head for the Cure Foundation is committed to raising awareness and funds for the fight against brain cancer. Our mission is to inspire hope for the community of brain cancer patients, their families, caregivers, and other supporters while celebrating their courage, spirit, and energy. The National Brain Tumor Society estimates 190,000 men, women, and children in the U.S. are diagnosed each year with a primary or meta sized brain tumor, equating to more than 14 per 10,000 persons. In 2016, nearly $1.75 million was generated by 5K Run/Walk events in 18 markets, and other financial contributions. To date, the organization has raised more than $8.3 million to support brain cancer research. 5K Run/Walk events continue to drive Head for the Cure fundraising. Approximately 16,000 runners/walkers participated in events in 2016. Growth continues in 2017 with 2.5K events planned and more pending confirmation. Bring your family, take a friend, grab a team, or go solo - come out and support the cause! Don't forget to register! |
