I'm going to order one of these ribbons and wear it during Brain Tumor Awareness Week May 2-8. According to the Brain Trust report http://www.cbtrus.org/2002/2002report.pdf
"It is estimated that in the year 2000 more than 81,000 and 267,000 persons were living with a diagnosis of primary malignant and primary benign brain tumor, respectively."
Remember that was before Congress appropriated funding for benign brain tumors to be counted!

The Brain Tumor Awareness Ribbon
(Picture a grey ribbon here)
Call us at 617 - 876 - 2002 extension #1 to request free ribbons.
T.H.E. BRAIN TRUST offers gray ribbons for FREE. We feel that it is vital to raise awareness about Brain Tumors and Acquired Brain Injury (ABI) at no cost to grass roots activists. We also encourage you to make your own and give them to friends. Please contact us if you would like to work with us to raise awareness about brain tumors and ABI.
Reasons to wear this ribbon:
*
More than 195,000 Brain Tumors are diagnosed in the United States and Canada each year.
*
Brain Tumors are the leading cause of cancer death of children under 20.
*
Brain Tumors and Brain Injury can happen to anyone, anytime.
*
More research funding is needed to find successful treatments for brain tumors.
*
More support services are needed for brain tumor patients during and after their diagnosis.
*
Rehabilitiation for cognitive disabilities is not available to all the patients who need it.
*
Causes of brain tumors must be identified, so the brain tumor threat can be eliminated.
*
Many people don't understand disability from brain tumors or brain injury because you can't "see" it.
