Lab Challenge

We would like to challenge your lab to participate in our Brain Tumour Walk this year. We feel it is so important not only for the researchers to be surrounded in those they are working to find answers for, yet so important to let those affected in your communities see, that you are there working to find answers for them. 


As your team registers, we encourage you to send a photo of your lab to sruypers@braintumour.ca to feature in our next research newsletter. This will allow all labs to see who is involved and hopefully inspire them to do the same. Heroes supporting Heroes.
