The EndBrainCancer Initiative (formerly, The Chris Elliott Fund), was established in May, 2002 by my late husband, Chris Elliott, and I. The reason for this Initiative, the Chris Elliott Fund, and our day-to-day work has always been about IMMEDIATE ACCESS to advanced treatments, studies and clinical trials and the frustration we experienced early on in our brain cancer journey with not being immediately referred to a top brain tumor specialist, neurosurgeon and/or a neuro-oncologist as well as advanced treatments, studies and clinical trials.
