Ask Congress to Increase Research Funding

Brain Tumor Awareness Month might be over, but there's still time to advocate for increased brain tumor research funding from Congress. The House and Senate are working right now to decide how much funding to give to federal research agencies, and your voice can help ensure they make the right decisions. Take action: urge Congress to provide research funding for treatments and cures for the brain tumor community.
