To celebrate, we are launching many new fundraisers to help speed up the search for the cure. With the recent budget cuts in
So please help us raise money! If you have any other ideas, I am eager to listen to them!
1. The National Walk To End Brain Tumors. http://walktoendbraintumors.org These are 5k runs all over the country. Check the website for the one closest to you. You can also donate to the event and walk on your own!
2. Tune In To GBM: We are partnering with Novocure, The American Brain Tumor Association and The Chris Elliot Fund to promote brain tumor awareness on Twitter. We will send out a few tweets every week and will try to get them trending. Novocure will donate $5 to each of the above organizations every time one of our tweets are retweeted - using the hashtag #TuneIn2GBM
All you have to do is look for me on twitter, my handle is @AlMusella Follow me, then retween one of my messages that uses the hastag: #TuneIn2GBM
To retweet: put your mouse over my message. A small menu pops up at the bottom. Click the one that says RETWEET. This will copy my message to all of the people who follow you. Then follow up with that tweet by posting a message to your followers, asking them to retweet the message you just sent!
[Note: These next 3 fundraisers are being run by Stephen Mandell, who was the original vice-president of the Musella Foundation. He helped me create the organization and has been a strong supporter since we became non-profit 16 years ago! I trust him completely and I am even a member of Legal Shield!]
