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.
Help NBTS amplify the needs of the brain tumor community by sharing your story, spreading awareness, and wearing NBTS gear this holiday season. Together, our collective voices are a powerful force for progress.
Find a Clinical TrialA 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.
