Hi everyone. October 24, is Brain Cancer Awareness Day in Canada. TalentSphere for the last three or four years has purchased Hats for Hope, which is one of their fundraising programs each year around this time. As we have purchased many of the Hats in previously, this year we will be making a direct donation.
27 Canadians are diagnosed with a brain tumour every day. In addition to the 8 Canadians who will learn they have brain cancer every day, 19 Canadians will learn that they have a non-malignant brain tumour. Non-malignant brain tumours can be just as life-altering as malignant tumours.
Hats for Hope, a nationwide brain tumour awareness campaign, provides hope for those affected. Hope through support. Hope through research. Hope for a cure.
Together, we will raise awareness of this devastating disease while spreading a message of HOPE.
Canada currently has one of the highest rates of brain tumour incidents in the world 2. In recent years, 13,340 Canadians died from glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) alone. No new discoveries have been made for a decade. Research and innovation is needed now more than ever.
Tuesday, October 24, 2023, marks the sixth annual Brain Cancer Awareness Day in Canada! On this day, our goal is to bring attention to the impact of this disease while also sharing a message filled with HOPE.
