Did you hear Lisa's talk at the Race for Research? As one of the original teams to walk in the very first Race in 2000, to speaking at the 25th anniversary Race, the Epperson family has shown its dedication to the brain tumor community for a quarter-century. Lisa lost her brother, Jeff, to a brain tumor and shares her story with you.....

Thirty years of support, hope and courage for the brain tumor community. However, that mission has evolved over three decades, adding scholarships, support groups, and patient programs to help at the point of diagnosis while still searching for a cure.

Our Director of Programs and Events, Joy Basham, had the privilege of awarding Dr. Zuccato the SBTF Abstract Award for his project while attending the Joint Tumor Section Symposium and Congress of Neurological Surgeons (CNS) conference this week.

This award is given to a high scoring translational abstract on adult or pediatric brain tumors by a medical student, resident, fellow, or attending physician. It is the HOPE of the SBTF, each award will serve as seed funds for research which may bring about the possibility of finding a cure for brain tumors and brain cancers.
