We are a 501c3 not for profit public charity and donations made are tax deductible. Lori Arquilla Andersen, a Chicago area native, was diagnosed in 2003 with the worst type of brain cancer (GBM grade IV) just 3 months after her marriage. She fought a courageous 22 month battle and was able to remain positive until the very end. She lost her battle on 7-5-05 at the young age of 35. Even on Lori's toughest days, her smile and laughter would shine through and inspire those around her. We continue Lori's journey in hopes of finding a cure. Read about Lori's journey with brain cancer: www.laafinc.org/lorierik/ Get to know Lori by viewing the video: live, love, laaf! at www.youtube.com/laafinc ; and please pass it along to everyone you know. The Lori Arquilla Andersen Foundation for Brain Cancer Awareness is promoting awareness of the life threatening effects of brain tumors, advocating on behalf of brain cancer patients and raising funds for medical research. LAAF is dedicated to making a difference towards finding a cure. ** PLEASE contact us if you are able to have a fundraiser in your town for LAAF. Proceeds will benefit LAAF awareness and patient programs, advocacy efforts and the Brain Tumor Research Fund at Northwestern University. We are currently working on a pilot program to offer financial aid to brain tumor patients and their families to help with the cost of treatments, living expenses, the high out of pocket expenses, etc... When this program is fully funded we will be able to implement it into the community. LAAF works closely with Dr. Jeffrey Raizer, Director of Medical Neuro-Oncology at the Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine; he is the administrator of the BRAIN TUMOR RESEARCH FUND. In May 2008, they are launching the Brain Tumor Institute. For the past 2 years LAAF has been working closely with Congress and was instrumental in introducing a resolution to make the month of MAY: National Brain Tumor Awareness Month. LAAF was also invited to speak at a Congressional briefing on that resolution in May 2008 in Washington D.C. Thanks to the collaboration between LAAF and Congresswomen Schakowsky the resolution has finally been passed! We now have the awareness we were so desperately seeking for the brain tumor community.

	Avon Lake, OH				Smiles For Sophie Forever 440 930-5091 http://www.smilesforsophieforever.org/				In February of 2007 Sophie Elizabeth Quayle, at age three, was diagnosed with a diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG) - a cancerous brain tumor. This type of tumor is located in the brainstem, at the base of the brain. Affecting primarily children, it is the rarest and worst of pediatric brain tumors. Approximately 150 to 200 children are diagnosed each year. This type of tumor is considered terminal, and survival time is typically nine to twelve months following diagnosis. Sophie's parents, Marc and Emily Quayle of Avon Lake, felt an overwhelming sense of helplessness when learning there was nothing the doctors could do to save Sophie's precious life. Sophie passed away October 6, 2007, just seven and a half months after diagnosis. This great despair and frustration lead Marc and Emily on a mission to help children and families suffering from DIPG, while raising awareness and money that will lead to a cure for this awful disease and other types of pediatric brain cancer. Our Mission: The mission of Smiles For Sophie Forever* - A Foundation Confronting Pediatric Brain Cancer is threefold: - to provide financial and emotional support to families burdened by pediatric brain tumors - to promote a global awareness of not only pediatric brain tumors, but also an awareness of the lack of funding allocated for pediatric brain cancer research; and - to provide financial support to St. Jude, where Sophie was treated, and to other viable organizations committed to the treatment and cure of pediatric brain cancer. * Smiles For Sophie Forever is a tax-exempt, 501 (c)(3) organization.

	Cincinnati, OH				Cure Starts Now 513-478-8990 http://www.thecurestartsnow.org				The Cure Starts Now Foundation is an IRS 501C non-profit charity dedicated to educating, aiding and funding the search for a cure for brainstem glioma and other forms of pediatric brain cancer in the hopes of curing all cancers. Our fight begins with the children, typically ages 5-7, who are most commonly afflicted with this debilitating disease. Their prognosis is considered "dismal" by cancer experts with less than 1-10% of all confirmed victims living beyond 18 months from diagnosis. Sparing their cognitive abilities, brainstem glioma slowly robs children of their motor functions resulting in partial paralysis, loss of voice and sight and finally ending with an inability to eat and breath. It is both heart wrenching and painful as they are fully aware of their decline often until their last day. The cure starts now...

	Lancaster, OH				Kevin Mullin Memorial Fund for Brain Tumor Research 740-756-7987 http://www.lemonhead.org				We started Kevin's Fund just 6 months after he lost his battle with a malignant brain tumor. Kevin was a cross country runner in high school and his team would participate in the Race for the cure. After he was diagnosed with the brain tumor he still wanted to do the race for the cure. He could no longer run or see very well but in May of 2001he and his mom walked the 5K and Kevin commented that he wished all the people participating that day were doing it for brain tumor research. When he lost his battle in August of 2001 his family vowed to make his wish come true and the first Kevin Mullin Memorial 5K run/walk took place in April of 2002 and $20,000 + was raised that day. Thus far after 9 events we have raised almost $200,000 for brain tumor research and awareness. Kevin had so much hope that a cure would be found and our family will continue this fight until that hope becomes a reality.
	London, OH				Rockin' on the Run http://www.rockinontherun.org				Ashley Winebrenner, Johnda Beathard and Carol Semler founded Rockin’ on the Run in 2010. They created this organization to raise awareness of pediatric brain tumors. Carol’s daughter, Reagyn, was diagnosed with a brain tumor in 2005. In 2011, Robin Baier and Dode McVey became very involved in planning the event because of their children’s diagnoses of brain tumors. Sadly, both of their children passed away because of their brain tumors in 2010. Rockin’ on the Run holds one major community event a year. This is a 5K walk/run and family day. Every year it is the 3rd Saturday in May. This year’s event, which is scheduled for May 18, 2013, is the 4th year for the event. To date we have donated more than $22,000 to fight brain tumor cancer. Rockin’ on the Run has achieved so much in such a short amount of time and it’s all because of the communities’ involvement. Our goals are simple: 1) Raise more funds for research & awareness of brain tumors. 2) Increase public awareness about the prevalence of brain tumors. 3) Provide resources to all afflicted by brain tumors. WE WILL ACCOMPLISH OUR GOALS - BUT WE NEED OUR COMMUNITY TO HELP US! They no longer have a voice, but we do....

	South Euclid, OH				Mission4Maureen 440- 840-6497 http://www.mission4maureen.org				"No one can do everything, but everyone can do something." When the announcement was made that Senator Edward Kennedy had brain cancer it seemed that the whole world paid attention.  Every news agency and newspaper led with that headline and stories flooded the internet.  As a result, the Mission4Maureen website received over 26,000 hits over the past 4 months.  Many letters of inquiry have been received and of course the stories are both sad and familiar.  Most letters were followed by applications for assistance.  Mission4Maureen intends to assist all who qualify but we need help.  Currently there are 18 applicants and while not all patients agree to make their stories public, they share one identical message.  They are grateful that there is a charity like Mission4Maureen to whom they can turn for help.  In order to help all these patients, Mission4Maureen needs to raise $32,000.   Kennedy's brain cancer brought needed light to the plight of brain cancer patients.  Please help us to help them. Donation checks made out to Mission4Maureen may be sent to PO Box 21602, South Euclid, OH 44121. Our current fundraiser is 2008 - 2009 Annual Fund.  See our website at Mission4Maureen for details.

He was optimistic and the bravest hero we ever knew. His wish was to be normal and someday have a family. His battle ended 16 mos. after diagnosis. There were no available treatments left after having tried everything the best institutions and the best docs had to offer. Our mission is to fund cutting edge research towards a cure for pediatric brain tumors. No child should have to suffer this devastating disease and most difficult journey. We strive for the DAY that a cure can be found. We also fund child life oncology programs.

	Easton, PA				Lauren's First and Goal Foundation 610-250-6981 http://www.laurensfirstandgoal.org				Lauren's First and Goal is a charitable organization created to raise funds to support pediatric brain tumor research, support local pediatric cancer services, provide financial assistance to families living with a pediatric cancer diagnosis and to raise public awareness regarding pediatric brain tumors. The fund is supported primarily by Lauren's First and Goal Football Camp, a non-contact, one day instructional clinic taught by experienced Division I, II and III college coaches. In addition to the original camp hosted by Lafayette College in Easton, PA, the foundation branched out to The University of South Florida in 2008 to run Lauren's First and Goal South. The PA camp drew over 1600 players from across the northeastern states. Over 300 players attended the inaugural event in Tampa. In all, over 300 college coaches volunteered their time and helped raise over $255,000 for Lauren's First and Goal Foundation. Since the Foundation's inception five years ago, over 5,300 high school players have attended the camp and over half a million dollars has been raised to support research towards a cure for pediatric brain tumors. The camp and organization are named in honor of Lauren Loose, an eleven year old brain tumor survivor, who has been living with a diagnosis of multiple brain and spinal cord tumors, Neurofibromatosis and Evan's Syndrome since 9 months of age. Her courage, relentless spirit and joy for life are an inspiration to those who know her. It is our hope that through Lauren's example, we can help to improve the lives of other children and families dealing with pediatric cancer.The Foundation has 501c3 tax exempt status approval from the IRS, which allows for tax deductible contributions to Lauren's First and Goal.
	Lafayette Hill, PA				Kyle Daniel Kerpan Foundation 215-402-9371 http://www.caringbridge.org/pa/kyledkerpan				The Kyle Daniel Kerpan Foundation is named for, and has been formed in memory of our son, Kyle. Kyle battled brain tumors and related disease symptoms from diagnosis at age two until he lost his battle and passed away at the age of 11. During the time after his diagnosis, my husband, myself and Kyle’s twin sister Tessa fought that battle along with him. What we learned from personal experience in working with Kyle and other patients, families and friends of patients and the medical community shapes this Foundation and the activities that will be its focus. Our goal is to take what we have learned and, working with others, use this knowledge and experience to enrich and enhance the quality of life of other pediatric brain tumor patients and their families. It is dedicated to a very brave little boy that so loved his life and fought so hard to keep it…

	Houston, TX				Dr. Marnie Rose Foundation 713-993-9288 http://www.RunfortheRose.com				Marnie was a bright, beautiful, vivacious second-year pediatric resident when she died in 2002 of a glioblastoma. She appeared on the nationally acclaimed ABC television series Houston Medical to put a human face to brain cancer and to give strength to others who were ill. During Marnie's illness, we were appalled by the limited funding for brain tumor research and the lack of awareness of its incidence, especially among young adults. We started the Dr. Marnie Rose Foundation after her death to address these issues and to remember the children Marnie so adored. Our annual Run for the Rose and Ridin' for the Rose, a motorcycle rally, have netted over $1,100,000.00. At M. D. Anderson Cancer Center, we have funded cutting-edge immunotherapy research and have watched it extend the lives of patients. We are so thrilled when these same patients participate in our Run and Ride. We also fund new drug development and the growing field of personalized medicine, with the goal of rapid translation to clinical trials. This research is especially important because these treatments stand to benefit all cancer patients. At Children's Memorial Hermann Hospital, where Marnie was a resident, funds are designated for the development of the Pediatric Neuroscience Center, which treats children with brain tumors. Please join us for the 7th Annual Run for the Rose on Sunday, March 29, 2009. Check out our web site, www.RunfortheRose.com, forthe dates of the Ride and our new Rose Pedal, a bicycle ride for families. Our events bring together patients and families for support and camaraderie and empowerment.

It is so rare that you can't find very much information on it and even the specialists treating him didn't know much about it. We were only married a little over a year and a half and we have an 8 month old baby girl. He had a love of life & a wonderful way of always making people laugh that will always be with me. He was my everything and continues to be my inspiration. We must unite to find a cure so that noone else has to see their loved one suffer as I had to. He didn't deserve it. Noone does. We must find a cure for brain tumors and brain cancer. R.I.P my love, you've earned your angel wings. Thank you for your love, for our memories & for our baby girl. I will always love you.

Iwas diagnosed and had my first resection (surgery), June 6rh 2003. That tumor was about the size of a jumbo egg and located in my right parietal lobe. I started radiation about two weeks later after the effects of the glial wafers wore down . There is much more I'd like to say but I'm not sure if this is the correct forum? please let me know and I'llget it in for you. BTW I've had two recurances, used Temodar and accutane. and am now back on temodar. Ilike to joke that I live my life eight weeks at a time because that is the interval between my trips to the Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville, FL. I'm due again Friday! stay tuned and I'll update you later. provided I'm not notified that I'm in the wrong place Must go nod and get readyto go to Jax. God Bless you all, Warren

	Eagle, ID				Kali Carringer				On July 2, 2010, a large egg-sized meningioma was found via MRI pressing against my right frontal lobe as an incidental finding - I was having hearing issues and they were looking for a post-cochlear lesion on my left side. Luckily I had no symptoms related to the tumor and postponed my surgery until September 22, 2010. My excellent surgeon, Dr Mike Hajjar, got me back on my feet and back to work full-time in just 6 weeks! So far, so good...next MRI in September 2011 will tell more.

	Glendale Heights, IL				Russell W. Johnson				Feb. 5th, 2008 my life changed as I had a tennis ball sized Glioblastoma Multiforme laced tumor removed from the right temporal lobe of my brain.I have receieved an overwhelming amount of prayer and when coupled with the best possible meducal care available the remainder of the tumor(10% of tennis ball) is now gone and there is no visible evidence of cancer in my brain after my first MRI. Temodar and Avastin will continue as we need to eradicate any lingering and lurking cancer cells! I am part of the new and positive Brain Cancer statistics! Things are changing for the better in the world of Brain Cancer! I am so thankful to God and for what is currently available to treat Brain Cancer at this time! Good results are possible today and will be the norm in the future! Believe it! Sincerely, Russell W. Johnson

	Metropolis, IL				Kyla Parker				My husband was diagnosed in December 2007 with GBM. He had a stroke in August with resection of the clot done. In December, a growth appeared on the MRI and resection of that was done. After 2 cranies, radiation and Temodar (still on Temodar 5 days/month) his tumor is shrinking. I am so glad to find this website. I want to do something in our small town to raise awareness of this horrible disease. I will be looking into this and will let you know when I have something planned. We can beat this!

	Peoria, ILLINOIS				Ruth Tinkham				I was diagnosed with a right Cerebellopontine Angle Meningioma in 2005, will celebrate my 4th year anniversary as a Survivor in June. I had 28 treatments of radiation, which has the tumor as having no significant growth now, but with some deficits, cognitive and otherwise. I did however, lose my Uncle to brain cancer in 2006, and an Auntie to a brain tumor years ago. Tumor will not be taken out due to location. Let's do this, let's figure out a way to bring brain tumor awareness to the front of the class, we need funding and research.

She lived life on her terms and was a fabulous and loving wife, mother, daughter, sister, granddaughter, niece, aunt, and best bud in the whole wide world! We miss her with each passing moment. This year marks the 6th anniversary of her passing. It's like yesterday that she left us. Life has moved on, she would want us to, and we remember her in life, in love, and in spirit.

	Argonia, Kansas				Donna Garrett				My nephew Mason is 15 months old and has been diagnosed with "Grade III Anaplastic Astrocytoma, a malignant brain cancer, in the third ventricle of his brain. A craniotomy was performed on December 10, 2011 to biopsy the tumor, and a VP shunt was placed on the left side of his head to relieve the pressure from the hydrocephalus (fluid on the brain) caused by the tumor." (as stated by Annette). Annette and Mark met with a pediatric oncologist on December 29th and were told that they could not remove any more of the tumor because of it's location, that Mason was too young for radiation, and chemo would be their only option. Annette got in contact with St. Jude and got a call from the coordinator on December 30th saying that one of their neurosurgeons believed he could remove the rest of the tumor. The surgeon wants to consult with another surgeon over the weekend and they will call Annette Tuesday morning with the final decision. We are PRAYING that they will be Memphis bound by the end of the week. My older sister Kris & I create Fighting For Mason on Facebook just to garner support, but it has ballooned into so much more. We have begun fund raising and more people are willing to help that I could ever have imagined. Its WONDERFUL!

	Mandeville, LA				Kathleen Knight				I have had meningiomas and posterior fossa craniotomies to remove them three times: '86, '90, and '96; the -- first one was Grade II -- Atypical; the second and third were Grade III -- Malignant. I had 25 radiation treatments in 1997 for a small, inoperable part of tumor #3 that was in the brainstem area. In 2006, I had to have surgery to implant a ventriculo-peritoneal shunt for hydrocephalus. The hydrocephalus was blamed on the scar tissue from the three craniotomies and the radiation. I've also had four other kinds of cancer besides the malignant meningioma. I would ask anyone who wants to call me to call between 1:00 p.m. and 10:00 p.m. Central Time, USA.

Keep up the good work, making people aware of this. Thanks
	Bellingham, Ma				William Fox
	Boston, MA				Katie Mandell				Dear Friends, My daughter, Emily, turned two this month, which is truly a miracle. Last March she was diagnosed with a very rare and difficult to treat brain tumor called, Atypical Teratoid Rhabdoid Tumor. We were told there was nothing that could be done and to make her as comfortable as possible, but she would only have about another month to live. We were devastated but we had to try something. After a lot of research, we made our way up to the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, partly because of all the research they have conducted on this tumor type. The Neuro-Oncology team at Dana-Farber has given us hope and almost another whole year with our little girl. While more children have survived Atypical Teratoid Rhabdoid Tumor in the last five years as compared to pre-2002, this disease remains a tremendous challenge for our families and oncologists. Much has been learned about the underlying cause of ATRT; the genetic mutations involved have been identified. But the overall survival from this deadly cancer remains low, too low. The small number of children diagnosed yearly around the world make it difficult for doctors to conclude definitively which portions of treatment actually work. Like other cancers, it will be through scientific breakthroughs from research laboratories that will lead to new treatment approaches. Only through collaborations between the laboratory scientists and the clinical doctors can we learn from each, leading sooner to a cure. In March of 2009, the team at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, in collaboration with their European colleagues, along with their laboratory counterparts, will be hosting an international joint consensus meeting, CNS Rhabdoid Tumors: Integrating Biologic Insights with Clinical Success, to exchange ideas and the latest information on this tumor, working towards understanding, building and planning future therapy strategies. We hope that you will join us by donating to their effort as they work towards a cure for this devastating tumor that has affected us in so many ways. If you are able to contribute, or would like more information, please contact me or my sister at the below information. Thank you for taking time to read this and please feel free to pass this information along to others that might be interested.

He has completed radiation with concurrent Temodar, and now has done 5 rounds of 5/23 Temodar. He completed his senior year of high school last week and continued playing baseball. He plans to be enrolled in college this fall and possibly continuing his baseball career. He is fighting hard and has been a tremendous inspiration to many people. Thank you so much for this organization. We look forward to being part of the growth. Hopefully soon, a cure for this disease will be found.

It was awful to see this 51 year old man who could fix anything and loved the outdoors, especially ice fishing in northern MN, become so helpless so fast and lose all his independence. This journey was not at all positive and more information needs to get out there, especially to the 'regular' doctors who ignored us so much here, it seemed that since Dave had brain cancer, well then not much we can do to help his other issues as he is going to die anyways. Also people need to know that BT is so much more common than they think. I look back and until Dave was diagnosed, I did not even know what BT was and it was like, what? Anyhow, sorry to be so long, still hurts alot to talk about. Thanks
	White Bear Lake, MN				Ben Ursel				As a healthy, 32yr old man, I was absolutely shocked to be diagnosed with a Grade 3 Oligo Astrocytoma. We need to have more research to find the cause for why brain tumors are increasing in our society and find ways to prevent and cure them.

	, MS				Shelley Robinson				My husband was diagnosed with an Anaplastic Astrocytoma Grade III with GBM characteristics in April of 2007. He had been basically okay until exactly almost a year to the day this year, 2008, when he had seizures and such that landed him in the hospital for 5 days. As of right now, he can barely walk, has speech problems, etc. We ARE fighting with everything we're worth to beat this nasty disease. *I* have been trying to promote BT Awareness for months now, even emailing Oprah and Nascar hoping toget some response from them. The world is very much unaware of the extent of the problem brain tumors are in this world. Anything that can help spread the word so that the public is aware is wonderful! We need more education, more research, more funding, and faster FDA approval for potentially life-saving treatments. There has to be some key to these nasty tumors. People say maybe cell phones but I'm not sure about that. My aunt died last year from a GBM. She had a cell phone that she very rarely used so???? Yes, my husband uses his cell phone but not to excess. I think his was caused by a chemical at his workplace of 20+ years. Anyway, I pray somebody somewhere can come up with some answers to this and SOON! I do all I can to help spread the word but I am only one person in a small corner of the world. I have created car magnets for our vehicles as well as relatives' vehicles. Again, only in our little corner of the world are they seen. Anybody who reads this, please pray for all the BT victims in this world. Please pray for the doctors who are trying to find answers. Please pray for the people who make the rules and decisions and such in this world to do the right thing for once and open up more funding, etc. to help find the cause and a cure for this nasty disease. Please pray. It's the only hope we have...
