Today is Head to the Hill — and a nationwide Day of Action for the brain tumor community.

From near and far, advocates have joined NBTS on Capitol Hill, sharing their stories with Congress and urging lawmakers to prioritize brain tumor research funding and the needs of patients and families.

📣 Join our efforts from anywhere by signing and sharing our Day of Action alert: https://braintumor.quorum.us/campaign/161469/

Completing this alert takes only a few minutes, and it will meaningfully amplify the priorities delivered in person during today’s Head to the Hill meetings. 🩶

Together, we are calling on lawmakers to:

🩶 Advance the BRAIN Act: Support this landmark bill to accelerate brain tumor research and innovation, changing the narrative for survivors, patients, and caregivers.

🩶 Increase funding: Support a 9% increase for the NIH and NCI, plus continued medical research at the Department of Defense.

🩶 Recognize awareness: Designate May as Brain Tumor Awareness Month and July 15, 2026, as Glioblastoma (GBM) Awareness Day.

Your voice drives progress toward better treatments, improved quality of life, and a cure.

Jason Noel, Gray Nation Endurance marathoner, likes to dedicate his runs to members of the brain tumor community, regularly gifting his finisher medal to friends he’s met through his own experience living with a brain tumor.

This April, he ran 26.2 miles in the Boston Marathon with his dear friend and NBTS board member, Adam Hayden, in his heart, who passed away in December after living for nine years with a malignant glioma.

At this year’s reception, Jason presented his Boston Marathon medal to Adam’s wife, Whitney, and their three sons, who are championing on the hill this year in Adam’s honor.

Adam was a Head to the Hill regular and a fierce advocate for the brain tumor community.

His memory, and the memory of all those we’ve lost to this devastating disease, inspire us to advocate today for increased federal funding and meaningful policy change now and in the future.

📣 We’re coming to you LIVE from Head to the Hill 2026 in D.C.!
