Glioblastoma Foundation Inc

Four years ago, we lost our brother, friend, husband, son, and a truly one-of-a-kind human, Prateek Bajaj, to glioblastoma.

To mark the anniversary, we’re raising money for the Glioblastoma Foundation and hosting a Barry’s Sweat for a Cause class in his honor. This fundraiser is open to anyone who wants to contribute, whether you’re joining the class or supporting from afar.

They say a person dies two deaths: once when they leave this world, and once when their name is spoken for the last time.

Because of moments like this, we know Prateek won’t die a second one. Thank you for being part of something that means so much to us <3

On November 28th, my mom and I will be racing in a fitness event called HYROX (a mix of running and strength workouts) in Madrid, to raise awareness and money for glioblastoma research.

Glioblastoma is one of the most aggressive forms of brain cancer. Unfortunately, hundreds of thousands of people are diagnosed with it globally each year. One of our family members - whom we love so much - is fighting this disease, and we’d like to honor their strength, bravery, and compassion through our fundraiser.

It takes a lot to fight illnesses like glioblastoma - for the patient, but also for the doctors, nurses, and scientists working tirelessly night and day to battle it. We’d like to honor everyone’s hope, tenacity, and dedication.

If you’d like to help us raise money for research and patient care, you can donate to the Glioblastoma Foundation. Thank you for your support!

P.S. If you know our family, we kindly ask that you don’t post personal comments or details about us here — this fundraiser is meant to support everyone affected by glioblastoma. Thank you for helping us keep the focus on hope and progress.

3 years ago this week I lost my dad to a Glioblastoma Multiforme (brain tumor) at the age of 64. There is little research on cause and treatment. In an effort to take my grief and turn it to something good, I’ve decided to annually raise funds to support research for understanding and treating this terrible disease.

In loving memory of my dad, Scott, I am raising funds for the Glioblastoma Foundation Inc. This organization dedicated to advancing glioblastoma research and supporting patients embodies the hope and determination my loved one displayed throughout their journey.

By donating, you will help fund vital initiatives such as:

Let us come together to honor Scott and support the Glioblastoma Foundation’s mission. Your contribution, no matter the size, will make a meaningful difference in the lives of those affected by this devastating disease. Thank you for your support.

On behalf of CrossFit Cincinnati, we would like to raise money for Glioblastoma Research in honor of David Russo and the Russo family.

En el año 2021, Fernando Troya, quién fue padre, esposo, hermano, tío, primo, yerno, cuñado, amigo, recibió una noticia que cambiaría su vida. Recibió un diagnóstico catastrófico, glioblastoma inoperable en su cerebro. Durante los siguientes meses de su vida, Fernando continuó haciendo lo que mas le gustaba: disfrutar de la vida junto a sus seres queridos acompañado siempre de una sonrisa, gran positivismo y cerveza. Fernando se nos fue de esta dimensión, y con todo el dolor sentido, quisiéramos aportar para buscar una cura a la enfermedad que quitó su vida. Dentro de los últimos deseos de Fernando, fue no tener servicios funerarios. En vez de los mismos, quisiéramos aportar hacia la investigación de glioblastomas. Este dinero será donado a la Fundación de Glioblastoma Inc, que durante las últimas décadas ha buscado avanzar en encontrar una cura para quienes reciben este diagnóstico catastrófico. Si es que está dentro de sus posibilidades realizar una donación, favor hágalo en nombre de Fernando.

En memoria de nuestro querido Fernando: 9 de marzo 1963- 11 de abril 2023.

In 2021, father, husband, brother, uncle, cousin, friend, Fernando Troya, received news that would change his life. He received a catastrophic diagnosis, inoperable glioblastoma in his brain. During the following months of his life, Fernando continued doing what he liked best: enjoying life with his loved ones, always accompanied by a beer. Fernando left us in April 2023, and with all the pain felt, we would like to contribute towards finding a cure to the disease that took the life of our Fernando. One of Fernando's last wishes, was to forego funeral services. Instead of them, we would like to contribute towards glioblastoma research. This money will be donated to the Glioblastoma Inc Foundation, which seeks to advance a cure for those who receive this catastrophic diagnosis. If it is within your possibilities to make a donation, please do so in Fernando's name.

In memory of our beloved Fernando: March 9, 1963- April 11, 2023.
