Youth Education Awards

Brain tumours are unpredictable and complex, and can affect vision, hearing, memory, balance and mobility. Their effects--physical, emotional, financial--last a lifetime. Funds raised by Brain Tumour Foundation of Canada help support leading-edge research into the cause of and cure for this devastating disease, while also helping to fund vital programs and services for the brain tumour community.
