October 24th is Brain Tumour Awareness Day.
Today marks the seventh annual Brain Cancer Awareness Day in Canada!
There are an estimated 55,000 Canadians living with a brain tumour. Of the 27 people diagnosed with a brain tumour every day in Canada, 8 of those will find out they have brain cancer. Malignant or not, brain tumours are life-altering, and treatment options are limited and often invasive.
Brain tumours are unpredictable and complex. They can affect vision, hearing, memory, balance and mobility. Their effects are physical, emotional, financial, and last a lifetime. There is no cure.
On this day, our goal is to bring attention to the impact of this disease while also sharing a message filled with HOPE.
