Glioblastoma Research Organization

The Glioblastoma Research Organization is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization raising awareness and funds for new global, cutting-edge research to find a cure for glioblastoma. The organization was established in 2018 and, to date, has provided support to doctors and researchers through eight fully funded projects. GBMRO has also donated over $500K+ since its inception and has partnered with GBM-related projects around the globe.

The organization has the opportunity to meet with leaders in neuro-oncology as well as connect with the people and families directly impacted by Glioblastoma. The stories behind this deadly brain cancer drive our research funding mission. Fueled by our founder's personal experience with GBM, The Glioblastoma Research Organization’s communications channels, such as social media, serve as a bridge to connect those all over the world who are suffering from Glioblastoma or have been affected by the disease. We provide a hub for communication where people in the same situation can share their experiences.

Many of you are asking me often 'What can I do for you?' Well, the best thing you can do is donate whatever you can to help to find a cure for this terrible disease.

Want to join me in making a difference? I'm raising money to benefit Glioblastoma Research Organization, and any donation will help make an impact. Thanks in advance for your contribution to this cause that means so much to me.

From what his friends have told me, when my dad was my age he was an adventurous and exciting young man. From hiking, biking, skiing and rafting, to starting his own businesses, hiking through Europe and going to concerts, he seemed to be a “yes man”, always ready for the happiness new experiences and new people brought him. He also wasn’t afraid of the “what if’s”, he was willing to take the risk and hope the reward was worth it. I am not surprised by this young version of my dad, because, as his daughter, I saw the same zealousness in him in the second half of his life. I have always looked up to him for his willingness to try anything and eagerness to continue to travel the world.

 

A few months ago, Dusty challenged me to do something outside my comfort zone. I, unlike my dad, am usually someone who likes predictability and safety. Knowing this, I have always tried to emulate my dad’s easy going-ness and adventurousness. Dusty’s challenge propelled me in this direction. A few months ago, I had never clipped into a road bike before, and now I am training for the Triple Bypass in August. Every training ride, I think about how excited my dad would be for me, and the biggest hug he would give me at the finish line of this race.

 

I am dedicating this race to him, to trying something new and intimidating with fervor and fearlessness, just like him. He passed about 4 years ago from a terminal brain cancer called Glioblastoma. 4 years later, Glioblastoma is still incurable and incredibly unknown. The best thing we can do for the people and families who are experiencing this disease is to continue to research how the cancer functions and innovative ways to treat it. For the Triple Bypass Race, I will be fundraising for the Glioblastoma Research Foundation, a research organization pioneering new treatments for Glioblastoma. Please join me in supporting this cause for my dad, and when you donate, I also challenge you to channel that same adventurousness he had.

I will be matching donations up to $1,000, with the goal of fundraising $2,000 total. I greatly appreciate any contribution you are able to make!
