Supporting the Bellingham Brain Cancer Walk and Hannah’s Vision
When you support the BBCW and Hannah’s vision, you make a substantial impact on those who are diagnosed with brain tumors. 80% of brain tumor patients are not treated at a brain tumor institute and or a brain tumor specialist; often times not receiving clinical trials as first treatment. Gifts given to the Bellingham Brain Cancer Walk directly support the EndBrainCancer Initiative’s patient navigator positions, resources needed at the call center, brain tumor disease education and awareness, and patient advocacy at the policy level.
This year's Walk will include a BEER GARDEN featuring craft beers from Boundary Bay Brewery.
