Musella Foundation awards two more brain tumor research grants!
Al's Comment:
Wanted to say a big thank you to Wizathon.com, as well as our many volunteers and participants in the National Walk To End Brain Tumors. Wizathon helped us turn our live 5k events into virtual events. They did not do as well as in years past, but did much better than I expected considering the circumstances!
Hopefully things will get back to normal next year!
