Brain Tumor Survivor Paying It Forward!

 
 

Join Us in Helping the Brain Tumor Community!

Passion drives my commitment to this cause.  I know the devastation firsthand. After my diagnosis in 2015, I was showered with the love and support of many.  As a military retiree, I had affordable healthcare.  I was not torn between paying for care and living expenses.  However, I knew not all patients were as fortunate. Never alone in her brain tumor journey from diagnosis through recovery, I decided to pay it forward through the standup of WINKS - With INtentional Kindness and Support, a nonprofit enhancing the quality of life of brain tumor patients and caregivers.   

Here are some of the realities for brain tumor patients and their caregivers, and why your support is so important.  (Source:  National Brain Tumor Society)

  • There are more than 120 types of brain and central nervous system (CNS) tumors
  • An estimated 700,000 Americans are living with a brain tumor
  • More than any other cancer, brain tumors can have lasting and life-altering physical, cognitive, and psychological impacts on a patient’s life.   
  • Brain Tumors represent the highest per-patient initial cost of care for any cancer group 
    • An annualized mean net cost approaching $150,000; and 
    • Highest annualized mean net costs for last-year-of-life care at $135,000 to $210,000

All proceeds will benefit WINKS, a 501(c)(3) all-volunteer nonprofit organization, working to enhance the quality of life for brain tumor patients and caregivers With INtentional Kindness and Support – no journey is traveled alone!  

Thank you for your support!
