We need your help!

Per the National Brain Tumor Society:

Your Members of Congress are making really big decisions this fall about biomedical research funding on brain tumors and other forms of cancer.  

Hanging in the balance of the budget debate in Congress is how much money the National Institutes of Health (NIH) will have to make grants to find new therapies and ultimately a cure for brain tumors. The federal government is the largest funder of brain tumor research in the nation, therefore, we have a lot at stake.  

NIH funding is at risk unless we pressure Congress to maintain it!

Please help by taking action and sending a letter to Congress you can let your voice be heard and make our priorities known.  Click here to fill out a short form, which will send an email to your legislator (mine went to Patty Murray).  It's that simple and really very easy!  Nothing to print or mail in, just a powerful and important message to our leaders.

I am lucky at the moment, not needing additional treatment or surgery, but that could change at any time.  While surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy are brain tumor treatment options used everyday, I am hopeful that there will be new options by the time I need them.  PLEASE help convince Congress to keep funding the NIH!!
