Thank You for Making the 2011 Walk Ahead for a Cure a Great Success!
Organizers of the Second Annual Walk Ahead for a Brain Tumor Cure send their heartfelt thanks to walkers, runners, volunteers, sponsors and donors for lifting our second annual event past its goals! More than 1,600 people participated in Sunday's 5k walk and chip-timed run, and donations have passed $170,000 and continue to come in.
All proceeds stay right here in Cincinnai, supporting research and education at the Brain Tumor Center at the University of Cincinnati Neuroscience Institute. The Brain Tumor Center strives to provide patients with the best treatment available anywhere in the world while working to find effective new treatments and, ultimately, a cure.
We are pleased to report that 175 patients and caregivers from five states attended the 2011 Midwest Regional Brain Tumor Conference on Saturday, Oct. 1. For ongoing information about brain tumor treatments and research, including clinical trials, please visit UCBrainTumorCenter.com.

Rick King isn’t one to feel sorry for himself. He can talk about his brain cancer, the frightening symptoms, his uncertain future, and how he was out putting up Christmas lights for his grandchildren a month after his surgery -– all without blinking back a tear. But when he thinks about what his family is doing for him, and the Walk Ahead team they have assembled so determinedly in his honor, that’s when the words catch in his throat. “Things like that put tears in my eyes,” Rick said, haltingly. “It’s so neat what they do. Sometimes they may not speak it, but definitely they always show it.”
Thanks to you, we have Walked Ahead of our goal! All donations that continue to come in will help us fund more research!
Sign up to walk, run, or make a donation to support brain tumor research and education.
