Did you know that from 1980 to 2000, there was an increase of nearly 50% in the estimated number of new cases of Malignant Brain/Center Nervous System tumors in the United States.? Every day an estimated 575 people are diagnosed with a brain tumor. You may have one of those people in your family, a close friend, neighbor or someone you work with.
There are no known causes of brain tumors at this time, although studies are going on. Funding and awareness of this cancer is significantly lower than for any other type of cancer. The goal of Denise's People to help raise awareness and raise funds to hopefully find the cause and the cure. Let's give a purpose to the death of our loved ones so we can prevent so many more.
In the coming weeks and months I will post different fund raising events and campaigns we are planning. Maybe you will want to join in or donate or maybe you may want to offer some suggestions. Even if you just follow along and tell someone about what you read you will be spreading awareness.
Thank You for being one of Denise's People.
