Join us as we Go Gray in May for Brain Tumor Awareness Month!
"Today, an estimated 700,000 people in the United States are living with a primary brain tumor, and approximately 85,000 more will be diagnosed in 2021. Brain tumors can be deadly, significantly impact quality of life, and change everything for a patient and their loved ones. They do not discriminate, inflicting men, women, and children of all races and ethnicities." National Brain Tumor Society
"One particular type of rare brain tumor, ependymoma, accounts for only 1.9% of primary brain tumors. May 10, 2021 we celebrated Ependymoma Awareness Day. On this day, "butterflies around the world are released to honor loved ones with ependymoma, recognize care partners and medical workers, and to support ependymoma research efforts. The delicate and beautiful butterfly was chosen to represent the spirit of the ependymoma community as a symbol of hope through change." CERN Foundation, Collaborative Ependymoma Research Network
