Our mission is to find a cure and create a better quality of life for brain cancer patients,
by increasing public awareness and making quantum leaps in scientific research.
Our vision is to one day be able to give a brain cancer patient the news that they do not have a deadly disease
but a chronic one that will not control them but can be controlled.
With your support we can create hope for those who are in need of a change. Because

The deadly disease of brain cancer and the central nervous system claimed an estimated 12,740 lives in the United States in 2007. There are not enough
funds to aid researchers in their passion to find new treatments for a cure. The Brain Cancer Research for a Cure Foundation was formed so
that, we can, collectively as a nation create hope for the future. Our children are our future and brain cancer
is the number one killer of all cancers in children up to age 19. This has to be stopped and along with your help we will
fight this disease and ensure that our childrens future is bright.
We at the Brain Cancer Research for a Cure Foundation along with our collaborator Dr. Alfredo Quinones-Hinojosa have a passion for paralyzing brain cancer. Dr. Alfredo Quinones-Hinojosa
is the Associate Professor of Neurological Surgery and Oncology, Neuroscience, Cellular and Molecular Medicine and the Director
of the Brain Tumor Program at the Johns Hopkins Bayview campus. Dr. Q and his colleagues, as they call him, are in a
daily battle to find "less barbaric ways of treating brain tumors", and finding tumor-fighting vaccines. They can't
achieve their goals without having the resources that are needed to develop better brain cancer treatments and save lives.
