A note from this year's event chair, Kim Hogle:
Thank you for taking the time to learn more about the 1st Annual Seattle Brain Cancer Walk, the "Cranium Crusade", that will benefit the Center for Advanced Brain Tumor Treatment at Swedish Medical Center. By participating in the walk, you will help us establish a comprehensive, multi-disciplinary brain tumor treatment center that will provide hope to patients throughout the Pacific Northwest who are diagnosed with brain tumors.
Sponsored by the Swedish Medical Center Foundation (a non-profit organization), the walk will be held on Saturday, June 28, 2008 at the Mercer Island High School Track.
As background, receiving a brain cancer diagnosis typically means that a patient is beginning a round of invasive and frightening medical treatment with little hope for a cure. With a life expectancy of only 1-2 years, brain cancer patients' best chance for survival lies in receiving the latest and most advanced medical treatments, many of which are only available through clinical trials. Currently, there are only a few nationally recognized centers of excellence for brain cancer treatment. Many patients face the burden of having to travel to a distant location where these trials are being conducted. For some, this is not an option - financially, physically or emotionally.
With your help, we can build a place at Swedish where brain tumor patients from throughout the region can have access to the latest clinical trials, a patient-centered approach to care and a team of caregivers who focus on improving the lives of brain cancer patients.
I welcome your participation in this important event.
Sincerely,
Kimberly J. Hogle
