Open Brain / CNS Tumors
I lost my guardian angel to a brain tumor in 1994 the same year my husband lost a fraternity brother to one. We have both been supporting The Preston Robert Tisch Brain Tumor Center at Duke and the Angels Among Us program since we first met 6 years ago. http://angelsamongus.org/ We do it every year and work to raise money through out the year to give awareness to this program and keep allowing the center to develop new treatments for brain tumors so we never have to lose another loved one.
