BRAIN TUMOR ACTION WEEK
Join the North American Brain Tumor Coalition in Washington, D.C. in May 2009, to press the case for brain tumor research and care. Despite the efforts of some of the world’s finest researchers to develop better therapies, individuals who are diagnosed with brain tumors still do not have adequate treatment choices. In fact, the outlook for brain tumor patients has not improved significantly in the last 20 years. You can help change that situation by joining us in the fight for a stronger brain tumor research program – that means more federal dollars for brain tumor research, strong support for translational and clinical brain tumor research programs, and enhanced collaboration among brain tumor researchers.
Register now through the North American Brain Tumor Coalition web site. North American Brain Tumor Coalition
No prior experience is necessary. Most of us did not grow up wanting to be a brain tumor issue advocate. We each have unique talents that we bring to advocacy based on our life experiences.
While it may be outside of your "comfort zone," you can do this.
Advocacy training will be provided on Monday May 5 and appointments will be scheduled for you to meet with your members of Congress (or more likely their staff aide for health issues) for Tuesday,
May 6.
Please share this information with other brain tumors survivors, caregivers, and their families.
