For the past nine years the #EndBrainCancer Initiativ
e has presented the HOPE award to a brain cancer patient from the United States who deeply inspired us with his or her courage and story. Truly there are innumerable deserving patients who have bravely fought and stood up to this disease. We established this award, to highlight exceptional people who have done exceptional things in relation to their brain cancer journey. We’ve honored some amazing individuals each year and they’ve deeply inspired all who’ve attended our Annual Brains Matter events.
Thank You To Our Supporters!

A Story Worth Telling
While only one person will be recognized with the national HOPE award, we believe that each story is worth sharing and each person worth honoring. With your permission and the permission of the nominee and/or his or her family, we will share (on our website and in other ways) these stories of HOPE throughout the year to inspire other brain cancer patients and the thousands of people who deeply care.
