Angels Among Us

Brian is a twenty-five year survivor of a grade three brain tumor, thanks to the medical team at the Preston Robert Tisch Brain Tumor Center at Duke. Read his inspirational story of gratitude, family, and community. At Duke... there is hope.

Brian Simmons: Twenty-Five Years of Gratitude, Family, and Community “Twenty-five years later, I am still doing the 5K,” Brian said. “Seeing the number of survivors who participate each year is powerful. It is something that is important to our family, and it has been meaningful to watch the event grow over time.”

Today is World Brain Tumor Day - a day to honor those we've lost, support patients and survivors, and raise awareness about brain tumors. Because symptoms can vary widely, the Preston Robert Tisch Brain Tumor Center is committed to guiding patients and families and providing the best care possible. Thanks to YOUR generous donations over the years, we're continuing to make advances in treatment options through research and clinical trials. At Duke...there is HOPE.

Last August, Tim set out on a year-long journey around the world in honor of his brother-in-law who valiantly fought brain cancer. He has spent the year pushing through extreme conditions, raising money, and spreading awareness for this much-needed cause. Get caught up on Tim's journey and make a donation to help push him to the finish line right here!
