The 2016 Edmonton Brain Tumour Walk is an annual family-friendly national event that take place in more than 20 cities across Canada! All funds raised by Walkers and Teams support Brain Tumour Foundation of Canada programs and services.
The 2016 Edmonton Brain Tumour Walk
Since the charity’s founding in 1982, more than $4 million has been directed to breakthrough research into this complex disease. And each year, thousands of Canadians seek information resources and support through Brain Tumour Foundation of Canada to help them cope with their life-changing diagnosis.
While each Walk varies by city, every event is guaranteed to provide participants with a wonderful experience. Sherwood Ford Social Media Manager David van der Leek spoke with volunteer Min Lappin with more on the 2016 Edmonton Brain Tumour Walk.
