Brain tumors are the leading cause of solid tumor cancer death in children under the age of 20, and the second leading cause of cancer death in males under the age of 39.  Nearly the same numbers of people are affected with brain tumors as breast cancer, however, Miles for Hope, a national charity which is located in Clearwater is on a mission to change that.

 

Miles for Hope was founded by a brain cancer survivor and his wife and currently funds cutting edge research and treatments that provide a better quality of life.  “Sadly, the public remains unaware of the severity and magnitude of this disease”, stated Bob Gibbs, a 6 year survivor of the disease.  “Most people know how many people are touched by breast cancer, but never realized that nearly the same number are diagnosed with brain tumors, and that needs to change, and we can only do that through the help and support of the community”.

 

Miles for Hope, http://MilesForHope.org  is the benefiting charity for the 4th Friday on February 26. The event will take place in the 500 Block of Cleveland Street.  For more information on the 4th Friday event, visit http://www.4thFridayClearwater.com or call 866-550-3472. Beer and wine proceeds at the event will benefit Miles for Hope, a charity dedicated to not only finding a cure for brain cancer, but creating a better quality of life for those suffering with it.  In addition, Miles for Hope has partnered with the Tampa Bay Lightning, and during the event, will raffle off tickets to the March 20, 2010 game against the Washington Capitals.  The tickets will be for a suite and raffled off in a family four pack.  There will be four of these packs raffled off after the 4th Friday Celebration.  In addition, Miles for Hope is also recycling used cell phones, ink cartridges, toner cartridges, digital cameras and used gaming systems.  Bring your items to 4th Friday and help Miles for Hope and the environment at the same time!  Raffle tickets for the family four pack are currently available for purchase through Miles for Hope by calling (727) 781-HOPE (4673).

Brain Tumor Walk Scheduled For Phoenix 2010

 Miles for Hope, a nonprofit organization dedicated to raising awarness and funding for brain cancer has scheduled a walk to be held on November 6, 2010 in Phoenix, Arizona.  This walk will take place at Kiwanbis Park, which is located at 6111 S. All Americas Way in Phoenix. 

A portion of the proceeds from this walk will be donated to Phoenix Children's Hospital to be used for brain cancer research and awareness.  “We are pleased to be able to give back to the communities in which we hold events.  This aids us in createing awarness in communities like Boston, Denver, Seattle, Phoenix, Clearwater, and other cities where we hold events. “, said Bob Gibbs, a 5 ½ year survivor of this deadly disease.

Brain cancer affects as many people as breast cancer, yet only receives a small portion of the funding.  Our goal and mission through our brain tumor walks is to raise enough awarness, where we start receiving the same funding that breast cancer does, so we can also make large strides in awarness and early detection.

You can Register For The Phoenix Brain Tumor Walk now, as registration is currently open.  We encourage those who register to also create a team, or join a team and have fun raising funds for a disease that affects a new person every 3 minutes.

This is the first brain tumor walk for Miles for Hope at this location, but as with it’s other Moving Towards A Cure events, will be a huge success and a great time for friends and family to come together to raise awareness for brain cancer.

BRAIN TUMOR WALK TO RAISE AWARENESS AND FUNDING FOR DEADLY DISEASE

BRAIN TUMOR WALK TO RAISE AWARENESS AND FUNDING FOR DEADLY DISEASE

Denver, CO – Each day in the United States, 482 people are diagnosed with a brain tumor, almost the same number that is diagnosed with breast cancer daily. Sadly, there exists a severe lack of awareness and funding for brain tumors.
Miles for Hope, a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization, founded by brain cancer survivor Robert Gibbs, hopes to change that. “Our mission is to raise awareness and funding for brain tumor research, and to provide travel assistance to qualified patients.” Robert has survived almost 6 years since his diagnosis in 2004, thanks to an experimental brain cancer vaccine he received. “Most people are unaware of the magnitude of this disease. As an organization, we were shocked when we learned that just as many are diagnosed with brain cancer as breast cancer each day. Yet brain cancer only receives a fraction of the same funding. We want to let the public know that cutting edge clinical trials do exist for brain cancer, and many physicians remain unaware of these clinical trials.
On April 24, 2010 at Sloan’s Lake Park in Denver, Miles for Hope will hold a 5k and 1 Mile walk around Sloan’s Lake Park in an effort to raise awareness of this deadly disease, and to raise critically needed funding. Miles for Hope will be donating a portion of proceeds raised from this event to The Children’s Hospital to be used towards awareness and research. “Brain tumors are the leading cause of solid tumor cancer death in children under the age of 20, and we feel that by giving back locally, it not only provides hope for pediatric patients, but helps to raise awareness on a local as well as national level”, stated Gibbs.
“Registration is currently open, and we encourage people to register early and to start, or join, a team for the event.” stated Gibbs. “In addition, sponsorship opportunities exist for this event and are available on a limited basis”. We encourage local businesses to embrace this event and our cause, which will assist us in funding treatments that provide a better quality of life for patients”.
For more information on this event, or others across the nation, visit http://MilesForHope.org or contact us at (727) 781-HOPE (4673).
