Register Now! Brain Tumor Action Week in DC on May 3 and 4

March 16, 2010

Please join the North American Brain Tumor Coalition and its friends for Brain Tumor Action Week in Washington, D.C. On Monday, May 3, the Coalition invites you to an education day, featuring a program focusing on brain tumor research and care and including training for advocacy visits to Congress. On Tuesday, May 4, advocates will meet with their Representatives and Senators to discuss policy issues of importance to the brain tumor community.

We’ll be pressing Congress to fund the National Institutes of Health generously, continue a Peer-Reviewed Cancer Research Program at the Department of Defense that supports pediatric brain tumor research, and ensure a strong and coordinated brain tumor research program at the National Cancer Institute and National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke. We also hope to be discussing issues related to the implementation of health reform legislation during our May visits.

To register, please use the form at http://www.nabraintumor.org/registration10.html.

Please return to the website for advocacy materials, which will be posted soon.
