STRAIN FOR THE BRAIN INC

STRAIN FOR THE BRAIN 5K RUN/WALK Milwaukee,  Wisconsin

STRAIN FOR THE BRAIN 5K RUN/WALK

Welcome and thank you for visiting my fundraising page!
 I was diagnosed with acromegaly, a rare pituitary tumor that spread to my brain, over two years ago.  I am still undergoing treatment attempting to control this terrible disease.  Please consider donating to Froedtert's Brain Tumor Research program.  The more research that is available, the better doctors will be able to treat patients with brain tumors in the future. 

Last year, I was able to raise over $3000 for research, as well as have many of my friends and family show up for the race despite the less then ideal conditions.  My family and I really appreciate all of the efforts that people have made in the past, and continue to make on our behalf.  It is with support from all of you that we are able to continue to keep strong!

Donating through this website is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to support my fundraising efforts.
 Thank you again!!

Ellie, Kyle and Samantha
