Wear Orange and Gray During International Brain Tumor Week

Brain tumors don’t discriminate based on ethnicity, political views, age, or gender lines. They also don’t know any borders. Saturday, October 22, begins International Brain Tumour Awareness Week. The colors of the week are orange and gray, and we’ll be wearing them to show our support of the worldwide community of brain tumor survivors and their caregivers. We ask you to wear them too.

Be sure to share photos of you wearing orange and gray apparel, from Oct 22nd to 29th, in solidarity for the week via Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and other media. #OrangeandGray
