As 2024 comes to a close, you have the power to double your impact and propel vital research, advocacy, and support for the brain tumor community forward.

Fuel breakthroughs ahead with a year-end gift — with your support, we can raise $1 million by the end of December. Give a gift of any size and track our shared progress on the thermometer. All gifts received by midnight on December 31 will be matched, dollar for dollar, up to $250,000, by the generous NBTS Board of Directors.

Together, we can be the community to conquer and cure brain tumors, once and for all.

Meet Laurence

Laurence’s wife, Julia, was diagnosed with anaplastic astrocytoma in 2015. Their love story brought Laurence across the ocean to be with Julia, and he managed her care with strength and devotion until her passing in November 2023. In his grief, Laurence became a passionate advocate with the National Brain Tumor Society to give people living with brain tumors a better chance — a better chance at survival, a better chance at improved quality of life, and a better chance at finding community.

Moving the Mission Forward — in 2025 and Beyond

Your generous gift to the National Brain Tumor Society drives our mission — together, we can advocate for patients and families today while fueling research for the treatments and cures of tomorrow. Your gift powers…

  • COMMUNITY
  • ADVOCACY
  • RESEARCH
  • A few years ago, NBTS showed us the problem with the low accrual in clinical trials. This led to a joint effort… trying to figure out what we can do to improve trial accrual, looking at things like telemedicine. This is an opportunity for us to reimagine how we can do trials, to do things more efficiently so that we can help our patients better.
