Brain Tumor Action Week
May 2-8, 2010
Over 600,000 people in the United States are living with a brain tumor diagnosis. Unite with other advocates in encouraging Congress to take action to improve quality of life and fund research progress toward therapies that will treat this devastating disease.
Join the North American Brain Tumor Coalition (NABTC) for Brain Tumor Action Week 2010. During this week of focused brain tumor advocacy, advocates nation-wide will press federal lawmakers for action to advance brain tumor research and care.
