May is Brain Tumor Awareness Month. Brain tumors do not discriminate. Each year 300,000 people in the U.S. are diagnosed with primary brain tumor or cancer. They are the leading cause of solid tumor death in children, the second leading cause of cancer death in young men ages 20-39, and 20% of all other cancers will spread to the brain. The Grey Ribbon is the awareness symbol for brain tumors/cancer.

 The Grey Ribbon Crusade is celebrating Brain Tumor Awarnees Month with it's annual fundraising event - the National Walk To End Brain Tumors at 18 locations around the country. See http://walktoendbraintumors.org for details and to register.
