GO GRAY FOR A CURE 5K RUN/WALK

Go Gray for a Cure, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization whose mission is to fund life-saving brain cancer research, educate and increase awareness, and improve the quality of life for those living with brain cancer. An estimated 700,000 people in the United States are living with a primary brain tumor, and approximately 88,970 more will be diagnosed in 2023. Glioblastoma is the most commonly occurring primary malignant brain tumor, accounting for 14.3% of all tumors and 49.1% of all malignant tumors. For malignant brain tumor patients, the five-year relative survival rate following diagnosis is 35.6%. For the most common form of primary malignant brain tumors, glioblastoma, the five-year relative survival rate is only 6.8% and median survival is only 8 months. Pediatric brain tumors are the leading cause of cancer-related death among children and adolescents ages 0-14 years. Many have and will lose their life to brain cancer this year. Our mission is to stop that from happening. We must find a CURE!
